Description (French)
Cet accord fédéral territorial de quatre ans appuie la mise en œuvre par les Territoires du Nord-Ouest de ses mesures dans le cadre du Plan d’action national (PAN) pour mettre fin à la violence fondée sur le sexe (VFS) afin que, collectivement, la vision du PAN pour mettre fin à la VFS puisse être mise de l’avant. Le Plan d’action national a été rendu possible grâce à une étroite collaboration entre les gouvernements FPT et il se fonde sur la mobilisation des partenaires autochtones, des personnes victimes et survivantes, des prestataires de services de première ligne, des expertes et experts de la VFS, des universitaires ainsi que des militantes et militants. Il s’agit d’un cadre d’action stratégique ayant pour but de soutenir les personnes victimes et survivantes et leurs familles, peu importe où elles vivent. Les cinq piliers du Plan d’action national sont les suivants : un soutien aux personnes victimes et survivantes et à leur famille; la prévention; un système judiciaire réactif; une mise en œuvre d'approches dirigées par les Autochtones; et une infrastructure sociale et un environnement propice.
