Description (French)
Dans le cadre de ce projet d’une durée de 56 mois, le Bonnyville Canadian Native Friendship Centre renforcera sa capacité de prévenir et de contrer la violence fondée sur le sexe (VFS) envers les femmes, les filles et les personnes 2ELGBTQQIA+ autochtones, se concentrant sur la ville de Bonnyville et les collectivités du Nord environnantes. Pour ce faire, le Centre mettra en place des méthodes de collecte de rétroaction culturellement pertinentes grâce à des occasions de mobilisation interne et externe et transmettra l’information lors de cercles de partage et de cérémonies avec les membres de la collectivité, les aînées et aînés et les gardiennes et gardiens du savoir. En plus de cerner ses besoins en ressources humaines et de collecter des données probantes à l’appui du changement des politiques, le Centre recueillera des connaissances pour combler les besoins de ses programmes futurs et renforcera sa collaboration avec différentes communautés autochtones pour mettre fin à la violence faite aux femmes, aux filles et aux personnes 2ELGBTQQIA+ autochtones. À la fin du projet, le Bonnyville Canadian Native Friendship Centre aura renforcé sa capacité de prévenir et de contrer la VFS envers les femmes, les filles et les personnes 2ELGBTQQIA+ autochtones. Grâce aux fonds supplémentaires et à la prolongation accordés au début de 2026, le Centre d’amitié autochtone canadien de Bonnyville établira un cercle consultatif intergénérationnel formel portant sur la violence fondée sur le sexe (VFS), développera et mettra en œuvre un cadre d’intervention face à la VFS dans les milieux ruraux et nordiques, élaborera et mettra en œuvre le cadre d’inclusion pour les personnes 2ELGBTQQIA+ et renforcera les systèmes organisationnels. Ce faisant, l’organisme contribuera davantage à l’avancement de l’égalité des genres
