The GBV-NAP is a 10-year plan that sets a framework to end Federal, Provincial, and Territorial Ministers responsible for the Status of Women launched the National Action Plan to End Gender-based Violence (GBV-NAP) in November 2022. The GBV-NAP is a 10-year plan that sets a framework to end gender-based violence in Canada. The GBV-NAP is informed by over 1,000 recommendations from Indigenous partners, survivors, frontline organizations, and experts. You can read more about the GBV-NAP here.

The GBV-NAP identifies five pillars under which Federal, Provincial and Territorial governments can advance work on preventing and addressing gender-based violence:

• Pillar One: Support for survivors and their families;

• Pillar Two: Violence prevention;

• Pillar Three: Responsive justice system;

• Pillar Four: Implementing Indigenous-led approaches; and

• Pillar Five: Social infrastructure and enabling environment.

On December 15, 2023, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador (GNL) announced a $13.6 million four-year bilateral agreement with the Government of Canada as part of the GBV-NAP. The funding is supporting the Provincial Government's work in addressing and preventing gender-based violence, while building capacity for violence prevention through knowledge tools, educational resources, and other prevention initiatives. GBV-NAP funds are being used to create programs and supports for survivors of gender-based violence in communities throughout the province, including individuals who may be underserved or who are the most at risk of experiencing gender-based violence, such as Indigenous women, girls, 2SLGBTQQIA+ individuals, and women living in rural and remote communities.

The Community Violence Prevention Program provides grants to support targeted, community-driven efforts, led by community partners within our province, particularly those in rural areas, to combat violence against high-risk populations.
