Purpose:
|
Through culturally appropriate education the services of an Aboriginal Women Violence Prevention Coordinator (AWVPC) will increase knowledge and awareness of the victimization of Indigenous women and girls. The organization will develop a proactive approach to help prevent Indigenous female youth from entering high risk situations and provide skills development on inter-cultural competency, conflict resolution, human rights and anti-racism to their members. The overall goals of the project are to build community partnerships and to gain community trust to address violence affecting Indigenous women and girls.
