Summary
Through this 28-month project, the National Family and Survivors Circle Inc. (NFSC) will increase its ability to prevent and address Gender-Based Violence (GBV) against Indigenous Women and Girls (IWG), and 2SLGBTQI+ people and advocate for the implementation of the 231 Calls for Justice from the National Inquiry on MMIWG Final Report, the National Action Plan on MMIWG and 2SLGBTQI+ People, and the Federal Pathway. This will be achieved through four project components: the development, implementation, and piloting of their foundational documents, including a strategic plan; the expansion of partnerships, networks, and collaboration on advocacy initiatives to prevent GBV; the development and implementation of an advocacy strategy to contribute to creating transformative change; and the creation of a platform to elevate voices and perspectives of IWG2SLGBTQI+, survivors of gender- and race-based violence, and impacted families of MMIWG2S+.
This project will allow for the NFSC to strengthen their organizational capacity as a newly established national Indigenous organization, and to include the voices of IWG 2SLGBTQI+ in their foundational organizational structure, processes, and strategic plan. It will also allow the organization to increase its diversity, connect with targeted populations and build partnerships for collaboration on advocacy activities. A national engagement and survey will be conducted to development a platform to include the voices and perspectives of IWG 2SLGBTQI+, survivors of gender- and race-based violence, and impacted families of MMIWG2S+, as a central component of the ongoing evidence base which is critical to informing partnership-building, developing an advocacy strategy, and preparing NFSC for participation in program, policy, and legislative consultations.

Description (French)
Grâce à ce projet de 28 mois, le National Family and Survivors Circle Inc. (NFSC) augmentera sa capacité à prévenir et à traiter la violence fondée sur le sexe (VFS) à l’égard des femmes et des filles et des personnes 2ELGBTQI+ autochtones, et à défendre la mise en œuvre des 231 Appels à la justice du rapport final de l’Enquête nationale sur les FFADA, du Plan d’action national pour mettre fin à la violence envers les femmes, les filles et les personnes 2ELGBTQIA+ autochtones, ainsi que la Voie fédérale. Cet objectif sera atteint grâce à quatre composantes du projet : l’élaboration, la mise en œuvre et le pilotage de leurs documents essentiels, y compris un plan stratégique; l’expansion des partenariats, des réseaux et de la collaboration sur les initiatives de plaidoyer pour prévenir la VFS; l’élaboration et la mise en œuvre d’une stratégie de plaidoyer pour contribuer à la création d’un changement transformateur; et la création d’une plate-forme pour inclure les points de vue et les perspectives des femmes, des filles et des personnes 2ELGBTQIA+, des personnes qui ont survécu à la violence fondée sur le sexe et le genre, et des familles touchées par les disparitions et les meurtres de femmes, filles et personnes 2ELGBTQIA+.
Ce projet permettra à la NFSC de renforcer sa capacité organisationnelle en tant qu’organisme autochtone national nouvellement créé, et d’inclure les points de vue des femmes, des filles et des personnes 2ELGBTQI+ autochtones dans sa structure organisationnelle fondamentale, ses processus et son plan stratégique. Cela permettra également à l’organisme d’accroître sa diversité, d’entrer en contact avec des populations ciblées et d’établir des partenariats pour collaborer à des activités de plaidoyer. Un engagement national et une enquête seront menés pour développer une plate-forme permettant d’inclure les points de vue et les perspectives des femmes, des filles et des personnes 2ELGBTQIA+, des personnes qui ont survécu à la violence fondée sur le sexe et le genre, et des familles touchées par les disparitions et les meurtres de femmes, filles et personnes 2ELGBTQIA+, en tant qu’élément central de la base de données continue qui est essentielle à l’établissement de partenariats, au développement d’une stratégie de plaidoyer, et la préparation du NFSC à participer à des consultations sur les programmes, les politiques et les lois.
