Résumé
This 16-month project with The Elizabeth Fry Society of Greater Vancouver will produce and test a gender responsive training program for front line case workers working with vulnerable women going through challenging transitions following victimization or criminalization. This project will articulate a practice-oriented conceptual framework to help front-line workers recognize the effects of stigma, understand how stigma is perceived and internalized, and identify the strategies vulnerable women use to manage and cope with stigma. The overall goal is to increase women's self-control, self-efficacy, resiliency, autonomy, and agency while providing more opportunities to take control of their lives by reducing the social exclusion and stigma they encounter. This educational tool will be trauma and stigma informed while appreciating the need to be gender-responsive and culturally appropriate.
This will be achieved by conducting background research and interviews with women, men and youth facing serious forms of social stigma and potential discrimination; development of a gender responsive training program and manual; testing and validation of the gender responsive training program and publication of the training program (both print and online version).

Description (French)
Ce projet de 16 mois de la Elizabeth Fry Society of Greater Vancouver permettra de produire et de mettre à l’essai un programme de formation sensible au genre destiné aux agentes et agents de traitement de cas de première ligne qui travaillent auprès de femmes vulnérables traversant une transition difficile à la suite d’une victimisation ou d’une criminalisation. Ce projet définira un cadre conceptuel axé sur la pratique pour aider les travailleuses et travailleurs de première ligne à reconnaître les effets de la stigmatisation, à comprendre comment la stigmatisation est perçue et intériorisée, et à cerner les stratégies que les femmes vulnérables utilisent pour gérer la stigmatisation et y faire face. L’objectif global est d’accroître la maîtrise de soi, l’autoefficacité, la résilience, l’autonomie et la capacité d’agir des femmes, tout en leur offrant plus d’occasions de prendre leur vie en main en réduisant l’exclusion sociale et la stigmatisation auxquelles elles font face. Cet outil éducatif tiendra compte des traumatismes et de la stigmatisation, et prendra en compte la nécessité d’être sensible au genre et adapté à la culture.
Pour ce faire, on mènera des recherches de fond et des entrevues auprès de femmes, d’hommes et de jeunes qui font face à de graves formes de stigmatisation sociale et de discrimination potentielle; on élaborera un programme et un manuel de formation sensible au genre; on mettra à l’essai et l’on validera le programme de formation sensible au genre; et l’on publiera le programme de formation (une version imprimée et une version en ligne).

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.
