Enhancing the Capacity of Gender-Based Violence Organizations to Respond to and Recover from COVID-19

EF 2021-22 · 2021-07-20

Résumé
This 20-month project will support the capacity of sexual assault centres (SACs) and other gender-based violence (GBV) service organizations to deliver essential programs and services in response to the ongoing health and safety crisis posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. It will enhance the ability of SACs and GBV service organizations to adapt and re-design essential programs and services as necessary while responding to specific capacity and community needs. It will also enable SACs and GBV service organizations to maintain operations both during and after the pandemic and continue to serve the needs of women, girls, LGBTQ22SLGBTQQIA+, and gender non-binary people experiencing violence to advance gender equality in Canada. Canadian Women’s Foundation (CWF) will engage and consult with key stakeholders in order to implement a fair, transparent, and efficient process to distribute funding to SACs and GBV service organizations across Canada, outside of Quebec. This funding aims to address the specific needs of SACs and GBV service organizations and ensure they are better equipped to respond to local and emerging contexts, both during and after the pandemic. CWF will coordinate the gathering and consolidation of information from funding Recipients to determine how and to what extent the funding has impacted their organizational capacity to respond to and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Other activities may be undertaken, as needed, including the communication of results, dissemination of knowledge, and sharing of best practices among SACs and GBV service organizations across Canada.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 20 mois soutiendra la capacité des centres d’aide aux victimes d’agressions sexuelles (CAVAS) et d’autres organismes qui offrent des services liés à la violence fondée sur le sexe (VFS) à offrir des programmes et des services essentiels destinés à endiguer la crise de santé et de sécurité découlant de la pandémie de COVID-19. Il améliorera la capacité des CAVAS et des organismes qui offrent des services liés à la VFS à adapter et à remanier leurs programmes et services essentiels selon les circonstances tout en répondant à des besoins précis concernant les capacités et la communauté. Il permettra également aux CAVAS et aux organismes qui offrent des services liés à la VFS de maintenir leurs activités pendant et après la pandémie et de continuer à répondre aux besoins des femmes, des filles, des personnes LGBTQ2 et des personnes non binaires victimes de violence afin de faire progresser l’égalité des genres au Canada. La Fondation canadienne des femmes (FCF) mobilisera et consultera les principales parties prenantes afin de mettre en œuvre un processus juste, transparent et efficace pour distribuer le financement aux CAVAS et aux organismes qui offrent des services liés à la VFS partout au Canada, à l’exception du Québec. Ce financement vise à répondre aux besoins précis des CAVAS et des organismes qui offrent des services liés à la VFS et à leur donner les moyens de mieux s’équiper pour s’adapter aux contextes locaux et nouveaux, à la fois pendant et après la pandémie. La FCF coordonnera la collecte d’information auprès des bénéficiaires de financement et le regroupement de cette information afin de déterminer comment et dans quelle mesure le financement offert a eu une incidence sur leur capacité de réagir à la pandémie de COVID-19 et de se rétablir après celle-ci. D’autres activités peuvent être entreprises, au besoin, comme la communication des résultats, la diffusion des connaissances et l’échange de pratiques exemplaires entre les CAVAS et les organismes qui offrent des services liés à la VFS partout au Canada.
Expected Results
Women and stakeholders have access to supports to address issues relating to equality between women and men.
Expected Results (French)
