Mouvement contre le viol et l'inceste Collectif de femmes de Montréal

Published purpose

This 36-month project with Mouvement contre le viol et l’inceste / Collectif de femmes de Montreal will develop and implement trauma-informed intervention practices to strengthen the psychosocial intervention program to advance knowledge and enhance empowerment supports for at-risk migrant women and survivors of human trafficking. This will be achieved by acknowledging the complexities of trafficking and their link to other forms of gender-based violence, creating a safe space for processing traumatic experiences, breaking down social isolation and building social connexions, providing concrete supports in taking the steps to rebuild lives in the aftermath of trafficking and informing migrant women on their rights, and referring them to specific resources as needed. At the end of the project, the organization will have strengthened and increased its capacity to serve trafficked migrant women through the integration of best practices in its existing psychosocial intervention program, which aims to empower migrant women to overcome the consequences of living through exploitation and violence. The project will include an external evaluation. The purpose of the external evaluation is to evaluate the promising practice(s) that was developed, tested and implemented during the course of this project. The evaluator will be external to the organization and will have experience and expertise in evaluation.
