Cedar Circle: Building Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre's Capacity to address Sexual Exploitation/Trafficking in Winnipeg
EF 2022-23 · 2022-12-01
Résumé
Through this 58-month project, the Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre will increase its ability to prevent and address gender-based violence (GBV) against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ persons with a focus on the sexual exploitation and trafficking of youth in the Winnipeg area. This will be achieved by building capacity through the revision of the current organizational program model; strengthening and expanding collaborations and partnerships by creating 3 local advisory councils with sister service delivery organizations; development of strategies for staff recruitment, training, and retention; development of an advocacy strategy to establish relationships with governments and philanthropy partners and the creation of a digital library of wise practises.
The project will engage ally organizations such as Ndinawemaaganag Endaawaad Inc., Ka Ni Kanichihk Inc., North End Women’s Centre, Voices: Manitoba Youth in Care Network and various grassroots outreach programs. Engagement will include consultation, feedback, and support to meet the complex ever-changing needs of Indigenous 2SLGBTQQIA+ victims and survivors of sexual exploitation/trafficking and to ensure long-term organizational sustainability.
By the end of the project, Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre will have strengthened their capacity and created programs and tools to prevent and address gender-based violence against Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ peoples and most notably victims of sexual exploitation and human trafficking.
With the supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre will operationalize the HOME residential healing program; develop and deploy an Indigenous SEY outreach model grounded in the Seven Sacred Teaching; deliver integrated training curriculum for outreach workers and sector partners; and update and expand on advisory committee roles and advocacy strategy development. Through this they will further advance Gender Equality by building culturally grounded, community-led systems that protect and support sexually exploited Indigenous women, girls, and gender-diverse youth.

Description (French)
Grâce à ce projet d’une durée de 58 mois, le Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre augmentera sa capacité à prévenir et à combattre la violence fondée sur le sexe envers les femmes, les filles et les personnes 2ELGBTQQIA+ autochtones en se concentrant sur l’exploitation sexuelle et la traite des jeunes dans la région de Winnipeg. Le Centre atteindra cet objectif en renforçant ses capacités au moyen de l’examen du modèle de programme organisationnel actuel; en renforçant et en élargissant la collaboration et les partenariats par la création de trois conseils consultatifs locaux avec des organismes soeurs de prestation de services; en élaborant des stratégies pour le recrutement, la formation et le maintien du personnel; en élaborant une stratégie de promotion pour établir des relations avec des gouvernements et des partenaires philanthropiques et en créant une bibliothèque numérique de pratiques sages.
Le projet mobilisera des organismes alliés tels que Ndinawemaaganag Endaawaad Inc., Ka Ni Kanichihk Inc., North End Women’s Centre, Voices : Manitoba’s Youth in Care Network et divers programmes de sensibilisation locaux. Les activités de mobilisation comprendront des consultations, de la rétroaction et du soutien en vue de répondre aux besoins complexes et évolutifs des victimes et des personnes survivantes 2ELGBTQQIA+ autochtones de l’exploitation sexuelle ou de la traite de personnes et pour assurer la viabilité à long terme de l’organisme.
À la fin du projet, le Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre aura renforcé ses capacités et créé des programmes et des outils pour prévenir et combattre la violence fondée sur le sexe faite aux femmes, aux filles et aux personnes 2ELGBTQQIA+ autochtones, et plus particulièrement faite aux victimes d’exploitation sexuelle et de traite de personnes.
Grâce aux fonds supplémentaires et à la prolongation accordés au début de 2026, le Centre Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata mettra en œuvre le programme résidentiel de guérison HOME, élaborera et sera en mesure de déployer un modèle de sensibilisation autochtone portant sur l’initiative « Stop à l’exploitation des jeunes » (SEY, de l’anglais Stop Exploiting Youth) fondée sur les Sept enseignements sacrés, offrira un programme de formation intégré portant sur la sensibilisation pour les personnes travailleuses et les partenaires sectoriels, et mettra à jour et élaborera les rôles des comités consultatifs et l’élaboration des stratégies de plaidoyer. Ce faisant, l’organisme contribuera davantage à l’avancement de l’égalité des genres en bâtissant des systèmes communautaires culturellement ancrés qui protègent et soutiennent les femmes, les filles et les jeunes autochtones victimes d’exploitation sexuelle.
