Prince Albert Métis Women's Association Inc.

Published purpose

Through this 40-month project, Prince Albert Metis Women’s Association will increase its ability to prevent and address gender-based violence (GBV) against Indigenous women, girls, or 2SLGBTQQIA+ people, with a focus on Indigenous 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals in north central Saskatchewan. This will be achieved by increasing the structural, collaborative and knowledge capacity of the organization by building a collaborative network, strengthening partnerships, creating resources, educating staff in GBV prevention and effective program development to align their organization to better support the detection, prevention and/or intervention of gender-based violence in their communities. This project will engage with Elders, various partners such Catholic Family Services, Saskatchewan Health Authority, West Flat Community Centre and a community of women and 2SLGBGTQQIA+ individuals with lived experience in gender-based violence to work through consultation that will guide and support the education of staff and program development. By the end of the project, Prince Albert Metis Women’s Association will have strengthened their capacity to prevent and address GBV against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people, with a focus on Indigenous women/girls and 2SLGBGTQIA+ individuals in North Central Saskatchewan.
