Fédération des femmes acadiennes de la Nouvelle-Écosse (FFANE)

Published purpose

Through this 30-month project, the Fédération des femmes acadiennes de la Nouvelle-Écosse (FFANE) will amplify the promising practice of culturally adapting and validating translated tools and resources as well as their circulation through a lens of community engagement to strengthen the gender-based violence sector. It will help amplify French resources adapted to the realities of the Acadian and Francophone population of Nova Scotia (NS). It will focus on the need to address a language barrier which undermines French-speaking population of NS and adapt the content to regional realities. In order to do so, the project will include the creation of a committee of stakeholders from gender-based violence sector (GBV) and from Acadian and Francophone community sectors and implementation of a cultural adaptation and validation process for the identified resources. FFANE will conduct the mapping for awareness-raising and dissemination of these resources to inform others of this promising practice in order to allow them to reproduce and amplify it.
