Project Overview
VISION
Every citizen of Saskatchewan is able to access a full continuum of sexual violence services and supports across their life span. The services are well resourced, based on evidence-based best practise and available in all communities across the province.
GOALS
1. Develop and implement a province-wide sexual violence action plan that is comprehensive and coordinates across all professional sectors and levels of government.
2. Represent Saskatchewan on a national platform as a champion of sexual violence prevention work.
OBJECTIVES
1. To establish a committed multi-sectoral Provincial Advisory Committee who will:
a. Develop a comprehensive Sexual Violence Action Plan
b. Commit to work towards the implementation of the plan beyond the life of the project and promote the plan to community leaders, government and social policy decision-makers on an ongoing basis.
2. To develop a Sexual Violence Action Plan for the province of Saskatchewan that is reflective of the needs of all sexual violence survivors and is inclusive of strategies to support strong community and government leadership; effective prevention, intervention and outreach.
3. To select three women leaders to represent Saskatchewan in a pan-Canadian network of 150 Women Leaders across the country. These women will work with the Canadian Women’s Foundation to support feminist action for gender equality at the national level.
