Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness (Abuse Hurts)

Published purpose

This 31-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Abuse Hurts will achieve this by developing and implementing community-based approaches to address intersectional barriers to equality for diverse women, developing and implementing prevention focused initiatives to combat gender based violence and building relationships between equality seeking organizations and other stakeholders to collaborate across sectors to advance gender equality. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, advancing inclusive policies and practices and addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes to support women’s equality.
