This project will engage the Ontario Native Women’s Association (ONWA) to provide guidance on the incorporation and capacity-building processes and to facilitate knowledge-sharing on GBV risk assessment and corresponding responses. By the end of the project, Wiikwemkoong Anishnawbekwek will have strengthened its capacity to prevent and address GBV against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people.
