Summary
During this 49-month project, the FCJ Refugee Centre, along with project collaborators, will develop and implement promising intervention practices that will advance knowledge and enhance empowerment supports for at-risk populations and survivors of human trafficking in Toronto. Specifically, the project will create a peer led model, outlining best practices, to provide information, resources, connections and supports to survivors of human trafficking. This will be achieved through a trauma informed approach, and the implementation of a gendered feminist lens, to create and provide resources in a safe environment, encouraging women to make informed decisions about their lives and futures. At the end of the project, the organization will have developed an outreach plan through a Women’s Steering Committee which will host Community building and women’s connection seminars across GTA and Ontario; it will collect anecdotal quantitative and qualitative data to initiate increased geographic span case management practices and develop a report outlining best practices for service delivery, and supporting skills development. The project will include an external evaluation that will look at the success and scalability of the promising practices. The supplemental funding will permit the organization to continue implementing its Promising Practice and reach an additional 50 to 75 survivors of human trafficking. Additionally, the organization will carry out a focus group with survivors of Human Trafficking, at-risk populations, and service providers to inform the implementation of the best practices report.

Description (French)
Au cours de ce projet de 49 mois, le FCJ Refugee Centre, de concert avec des collaborateurs du projet, élaborera et mettra en œuvre des pratiques d’intervention prometteuses qui permettront d’améliorer les connaissances et les mesures de soutien favorables à l’autonomisation des populations à risque et des personnes survivantes de la traite des personnes à Toronto. Plus précisément, on créera, dans le cadre de ce projet, un modèle dirigé par des pairs décrivant les pratiques exemplaires afin de fournir de l’information, des ressources, des liens et du soutien aux personnes survivantes de la traite des personnes. Pour ce faire, on adoptera une approche tenant compte des traumatismes ainsi qu’une perspective féministe sexospécifique afin de créer et de fournir des ressources dans un environnement sécuritaire et d’encourager les femmes à prendre des décisions éclairées sur leur vie et leur avenir. À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura élaboré un plan de sensibilisation par l’entremise d’un comité directeur des femmes qui organisera des séminaires sur le renforcement communautaire et les relations avec les femmes dans la région du Grand Toronto et en Ontario; il recueillera des données quantitatives et qualitatives de nature empirique pour mettre sur pied de meilleures pratiques de gestion des cas sur le territoire visé et préparer un rapport décrivant les pratiques exemplaires en matière de prestation de services et de soutien au perfectionnement des compétences. Le projet comprendra un exercice d’évaluation externe qui portera sur le succès et l’évolutivité des pratiques prometteuses. Le financement supplémentaire permettra à l’organisme de poursuivre la mise en œuvre de sa pratique prometteuse et de soutenir de 50 à 75 survivantes ou survivants additionnels de la traite de personnes. En outre, l’organisme organisera un groupe de discussion avec des survivantes et des survivants de la traite de personnes, des populations à risque et des prestataires de services afin d’éclairer la mise en œuvre du rapport sur les meilleures pratiques.
Expected Results
Promising practices are incorporated by the GBV sector into new or enhanced supports for target populations.

Program Name (French)
Programme de financement de la lutte contre la violence fondée sur le sexe
Program Purpose
The purpose of the GBV Program is to strengthen the GBV sector to address gaps in supports for two groups of survivors: 1) Indigenous women and their communities, and 2) underserved populations (including women living with a disability, non-status/refugee /immigrant women, LGBTQ2S, gender non-conforming people and ethno-cultural women) in Canada. The Program provides grant and contribution funding to Canadian organizations to improve supports to help create long-term, comprehensive solutions at the national, regional, and local levels.
Program Purpose (French)
Le Programme de financement de la lutte contre la violence fondée sur le sexe (le Programme) vise à renforcer la lutte contre la violence fondée sur le sexe (VFS) et, en particulier, à remédier au manque de soutien pour deux catégories de survivantes et survivants, soit : 1) les femmes autochtones et leurs communautés; et 2) les populations sous-desservies au Canada (notamment les femmes handicapées, les femmes réfugiées, immigrantes ou en situation irrégulière, les personnes allosexuelles et les femmes des minorités ethnoculturelles). Il s’agit d’un programme de subventions et contributions pour les organismes canadiens qui mènent des projets visant à améliorer les mesures d’aide offertes et à créer des solutions durables et complètes à l’échelle nationale, régionale et locale.
