2Spirit Manitoba Inc.

Published purpose

Through this 53-month project, 2Spirit Manitoba Inc. will increase its capacity to prevent and address gender-based violence (GBV) against Indigenous women, girls, or 2SLGBTQIA+ community members. This will be achieved by developing more inclusive policies and procedures, collaborating with Rainbow Resource Centre to ready the organization for youth focused GBV programs, by creating a strategic plan through community consultation and advisory group engagement, by creating GBV focused tools and resources, including a “safer spaces” guide for gender diverse and trans Indigenous community members, by creating a tool for 2SIQ inclusion at Trans Day of Remembrance events and by developing educational workshop content. By the end of this project, 2Spirit Manitoba Inc. will have strengthened their internal capacity to prevent and address GBV against Indigenous women, girls, or 2SLGBTQIA+ people with a focus on creating resources for 2SIQ community members and allies within Manitoba. With the Supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, 2Spirit Manitoba Inc. will improve how the organization learns and operates more effectively, collaborates with partners and strengthens networks to end violence against Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people and improves organizational and resource sustainability through succession planning and performance evaluation. Through this they will further advance Gender Equality.
