Empowering Change: Alberta's Fight Against Gender-Based Violence

In an inspiring step forward, Alberta's government is committed to combating gender-based violence through a comprehensive 10-year strategy. With the announcement of $1.36 million in funding to community organizations, they are aiming to enhance access to justice and provide crucial services for survivors.

The support isn’t just about the money; it’s about empowering local programs to make a genuine difference. From educational initiatives to legal support, these grants—ranging from $37,000 to $145,000—will help organizations in Calgary, Edmonton, and beyond reach those in need.

The Community Pathways to Justice grant program emphasizes survivor voices, ensuring they receive the life-saving support they deserve while holding abusers accountable. This is about creating a safer Alberta for everyone, where everyone can live free from the threat of violence.
