Elmwood Community Resource Centre and Area Association Inc.

Published purpose

Through this 30- month project, Elmwood Community Resource Centre and Area Association Inc. will scale the “Still I Rise” gender-based violence program (based on tree of life model) to strengthen the GBV sector. It will scale to better meet the needs of South Asian, Black and Arab women in Manitoba. It will address the root causes of GBV in a culturally sensitive way for Black, South Asian and Arab individuals who often are at high risk for GBV. To do so, the project will include working with Manitoba Association of Women’s Shelters (MAWS) to engage with at-risk and underserved populations and developing measurement tools and indicators grounded in culturally relevant practices. The organization will work to share the information from scaling this promising practice widely with partners and others so that they may replicate it or expand upon it.
