Regroupement féministe du Nouveau-Brunswick inc.

Published purpose

Through this 32-month project, Regroupement Féministe du Nouveau-Brunswick (RFNB) Inc. will amplify the practice of cultivating a culture of consent: towards a systematic change in the area of sexual harassment in schools in order to strengthen the gender-based violence sector (GBV). The organization will focus on bringing about systematic changes in policies and practices of schools, will offer care providers with the means of preventing and detecting sexual violence and will implement a culture of consent in the establishments and communities in questions. In order to do so, the project will create and facilitate an advisory committee with organizations, young people, including 2SLGBTQI+ youth, racialized youth and young boys as well as the participating institutions, and will facilitate workshops on consent in the participating schools. The RFNB will produce a toolkit that will include brochures, videos, posters, a podcast and educational sheets for informing others on the promising practice to enable them to reproduce and amplify it. A supplement was allocated to the project to increase the distribution of the project's tools and materials, as well as to add an art contest on the theme of consent and workshops aimed at parents.
