The Victoria Faulkner Women's Centre

Published purpose

Through this 30-month project, The Victoria Faulkner Women's Centre will scale the Next Gen Men boy's afterschool programs and community-based groups to the Yukon to strengthen the GBV sector. The project will scale to men and boys living in rural and urban Yukon. It will address a gap in supports for men and boys to confidently engage with anti-violence activism and allyship, reflect on harmful masculinities and norms, and access comprehensive sexual education that includes themes of gender-based violence. To do so, the project will train male ally mentors to activate men and boys against gender-based violence, deliver Next Gen Men Boy's Groups, establish the Yukon Sex Education Hub, and launch the Young Feminists program. The Victoria Faulkner Women's Centre will create and deliver knowledge dissemination materials and deliver a program showcase event to share information on the promising practice with others so that they may replicate it or expand upon it.
