Call for Proposals to Address Gender-Based Violence Through Promising Practices and Community-Based Research
OTTAWA, ON, Dec. 9, 2022 /CNW/ - Gender-based violence costs women and gender-diverse people their lives. Those most at risk are people living in rural and remote areas, Indigenous women, Black women, women with disabilities, women of colour, and gender non-binary and 2SLGBTQI+ people. Understanding and addressing gender-based violence against these groups is a crucial step towards achieving gender equality in Canada.
Today, the Honourable Marci Ien, Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth, is launching a call for proposals to address gender-based violence through promising practices and community-based research.
This funding opportunity aims to fund projects that will develop, put in place, and evaluate or scale up promising practices to strengthen the gender-based violence sector. It will also fund research projects that build knowledge to help address the needs of specific groups that are at risk of gender-based violence or are underserved when they experience it.
"We know that gender-based violence is unacceptable and has no place in Canada. The Government of Canada is working alongside partners, experts and advocates to prevent gender-based violence, while also addressing its root causes. This call for proposals will support projects from organizations working in this sector to address the persistent gaps in frontline care, support, and services, bringing us closer to building a safer and more equitable Canada for everyone."
The Honourable Marci Ien, Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth
