Purpose:
|
The organization will develop a model program to prevent violence and abuse against pre-teen and teenage girls (ages 12 to 18) in their community. The program will be based on a combination of established best practice prevention tools for Indigenous youth and Maliseet cultural teachings and counselling interventions. The goals of the program are to empower female youth to take control of their lives; reduce their vulnerability to violence; educate and counsel them about recognizing signs and symptoms of abuse; and avoiding risky social situations. The organization will also carry out a community-wide awareness campaign about the problems of violence and abuse among young women, and the commitments and measures required to prevent their occurrence.
