Centre francophone d'aide et de lutte contre les agressions a caractère sexuel (CALACS) d'Ottawa

Published purpose

This 60-month project will address organizational capacity needs to allow the organization to continue promoting social and systemic change towards gender equality. The organization will develop and implement a detailed knowledge-transfer plan within the organization to ensure the delivery of continuous quality services and organizational sustainability. The additional amount granted will be used for the creation of an additional knowledge transfer and acquisition tool: a series of video vignettes featuring concrete examples of the application of feminist principles in the daily work of a CALACS. The additional amount for 2023 will be used to review and update techniques for supporting and accompanying survivors to equip workers to support survivors in an intersectional approach while taking into account new trends in post-COVID-19 pandemic survival. The organization will conceptualize new integration and training tools to take into account the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and equip workers who are members of the network committee with an intersectional feminist approach on the use of feminist sandplay therapy adapted to the needs of Francophone survivors of sexual and spousal violence.
