    The Minister of Women and Gender Equality, Lela Evans, says  “These grants give organizations, especially in rural and remote areas, the tools and support they need to build safer futures for all of us.”

    Government is accepting proposals for Community Violence Prevention Grants until June 7th. The maximum grant is $50,000.  The program supports targeted and community-driven efforts to address the root causes of gender-based violence and help reduce risk factors that lead to harm. Proposals should focus on building community support networks, promoting healing for survivors, engaging boys and men in prevention, and ending the normalization of violence. The Minister of Women and Gender Equality, Lela Evans, says  “These grants give organizations, especially in rural and remote areas, the tools and support they need to build safer futures for all of us.”
