Indigenous Perspectives and Best Practices in Addressing Gender Based Violence

EF 2022-23 · 2022-10-01

Résumé
Through this 36-month project, the Legacy of Hope Foundation will increase its ability to prevent or address gender-based violence against Indigenous women, girls, or 2SLGBTQQIA+ people. This will be achieved by creating a travelling exhibition and activity guide that will enable host organizations, communities, and governments across Canada (remote, rural, urban) to learn about Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and how to address it in their own environment. They will form a Project Advisory Committee comprised of Indigenous persons from various regions in Canada, that will guide the project and consultations with advocates for women’s rights, missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, as well as other injustices, that can provide their unique perspectives and solutions on GBV. The committee will identify participants for dialogue sessions during the development stage of the exhibition and the activity guide, and host engagement sessions that will give communities the opportunity to share knowledge, view the exhibition and pilot the activity guide. A website will be developed and maintained to help with promotion and accessibility of these educational resources to all communities across Canada. These project activities and engagement sessions will ensure that the exhibition and activity guide are addressing GBV through the collective lens of those who experience it at higher rates than any other population in Canada: Indigenous women and girls and the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community. At the end of this project, the organization will have created tools to raise awareness of GBV to communities across Canada and provide them with the resources to address it. With these tools, learners will also gain the knowledge required to help them educate others on the topic, as well as help them contribute towards the eradication of GBV. The expectation is that this exhibition will have a minimum lifespan of 8 years.

Description (French)
Grâce à ce projet de 36 mois, la Legacy of Hope Foundation augmentera sa capacité à prévenir et à lutter contre la violence fondée sur le sexe à l’endroit des femmes, des filles ou des personnes 2ELGBTQQIA+ autochtones. Cet objectif sera atteint en créant une exposition itinérante et un guide d’activités qui permettront aux organismes hôtes, aux communautés et aux gouvernements de partout au Canada (éloignés, ruraux, urbains) d’en apprendre davantage sur violence fondée sur le sexe et comment l’aborder dans leur propre environnement. L’équipe formera un comité consultatif de projet composé d’Autochtones de diverses régions du Canada, qui guideront le projet et les consultations avec les défenseurs des droits des femmes, des femmes et des filles autochtones disparues et assassinées, ainsi que d’autres injustices, et qui fourniront leurs points de vue uniques ainsi que des solutions au sujet de la violence fondée sur le sexe. Le comité déterminera les participants aux séances de dialogue pendant la phase d’élaboration de l’exposition et du guide d’activités, et organisera des séances de mobilisation qui donneront aux communautés l’occasion de faire part de leurs connaissances, de voir l’exposition et de piloter le guide d’activités. Un site Web sera élaboré et maintenu pour aider à la promotion et à l’accessibilité de ces ressources éducatives à toutes les communautés de partout au Canada. Ces activités de projet et ces séances de mobilisation garantiront que l’exposition et le guide d’activités abordent la violence fondée sur le sexe à travers le prisme collectif de celles qui en font l’expérience à des taux plus élevés que toute autre population au Canada : les femmes et les filles autochtones et la communauté 2ELGBTQQIA+. À la fin de ce projet, l’organisme aura créé des outils afin de sensibiliser les communautés de partout au Canada à la violence fondée sur le sexe et leur fournir les ressources pour y faire face. Grâce à ces outils, les apprenants acquerront également les connaissances nécessaires pour les aider à éduquer les autres sur le sujet, ainsi qu’à les aider à contribuer à l’éradication de la violence fondée sur le sexe. On s’attend à ce que cette exposition ait une durée de vie minimale de huit ans.
