CISION – Québec government is increasing the funding for the 2021-2022 call for projects – Sexual, domestic and family violence in Indigenous contexts by $6 million. This raises the total investment for this initiative from $5.4 million to $11.4 million. Launched last August, this call for projects has four objectives:
1. Prevent and counter sexual violence, including sexual assault and sexual exploitation, in Indigenous contexts
2. Prevent and counter domestic and family violence in Indigenous contexts
3. Develop culturally relevant responses that provide a sense of security in dealing with the issues of sexual, domestic and family violence and that include women, men and the Indigenous population as a whole
4. Create structured partnerships between governments and Indigenous organizations, intended to prevent and counter sexual, domestic and family violence in Indigenous contexts
