EF 2022-23 · 2022-12-01

Résumé
Through this 24 month project, the Edmonton Aboriginal Seniors Centre (EASC) will increase its ability to prevent and address gender-based violence (GBV) against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ persons with a focus on 2SLGBTQQIA+ seniors within the Edmonton area. This will be achieved by building capacity in the organization’s governance to develop a 3-year strategic plan; recruitment and governance training for the Board of Directors guided by GBA+ principles, Indigenous values; revision of organizational bylaws, policies and procedures to ensure stronger alignment with the needs of Indigenous women and 2SLGBTQQIA+ community; strengthening and expanding collaborations and partnerships including creating a local Indigenous Advisory Council; implementing strategies to improve communication with community members and be more responsive to Indigenous seniors needs; and developing a trauma informed tool kit. The project will engage ally organizations such as Native Counselling Services of Alberta, Edmonton 2 Spirit Society, Centre to End Sexual Exploitation (CEASE) and various funding agencies to respond to the needs of Indigenous 2SLGBTQQIA+ senior citizens, to ensure long-term organizational sustainability and to increase responsiveness to address and prevent gender-based violence.

Description (French)
Grâce à ce projet d’une durée de 24 mois, l’Edmonton Aboriginal Seniors Centre (EASC) accroîtra sa capacité de prévenir et de contrer la violence fondée sur le sexe (VFS) faite aux femmes, aux filles et aux personnes 2ELGBTQQIA+ autochtones en mettant l’accent sur les personnes âgées 2ELGBTQQIA+ dans la région d’Edmonton. Pour ce faire, les mesures suivantes seront prises : renforcement de la capacité de gouvernance de l’organisme pour élaborer un plan stratégique triennal; recrutement et formation en gouvernance pour le conseil d’administration orientés par les principes de l’analyse comparative entre les sexes Plus (ACS Plus) et les valeurs autochtones; révision des règlements, des politiques et des procédures organisationnels pour assurer une meilleure harmonisation avec les besoins des femmes autochtones et de la communauté 2ELGBTQQIA+; renforcement et élargissement des collaborations et des partenariats, y compris la création d’un conseil consultatif autochtone local; mise en œuvre de stratégies pour améliorer la communication avec les membres de la collectivité et mieux répondre aux besoins des aînés autochtones; et élaboration d’une trousse à outils tenant compte des traumatismes. Le projet consistera notamment à mobiliser des organismes alliés tels que les Native Counselling Services of Alberta, l’Edmonton 2 Spirit Society, le Centre to End Sexual Exploitation (CEASE) et divers organismes de financement pour répondre aux besoins des personnes âgées autochtones 2ELGBTQQIA+, assurer la viabilité à long terme de l’organisme et accroître la capacité d’intervention pour contrer et prévenir la violence fondée sur le sexe. À la fin du projet, l’EASC aura renforcé sa capacité et créé des outils afin de prévenir et lutter contre la violence fondée sur le sexe à l’endroit des femmes, des filles et des personnes 2ELGBTQQIA+ autochtones, et plus particulièrement les personnes âgées.
