Purpose:
|
Through this project, the Elizabeth Fry Society of Manitoba will provide services such as intervention, education and re-integration to approximately 200 Aboriginal female youth in Manitoba, between 12-17 years of age, who are living in urban cities, in rural communities, on-reserve or who are in custody, and who are involved or are at risk of being involved in gang activities. In addition, a number of gang information and awareness workshops will be given to approximately 320 Aboriginal female youth living on-reserve as well as in urban and rural areas. These effective services and workshops will help reduce the number of Aboriginal female youth who are choosing gang activities as a viable lifestyle.
