Government Provides Funding to Support Survivors of Sexual and Intimate Partner Violence

Minister Responsible for Women and Gender Equality Pam Parsons has announced the awarding of $100,000 to the Public Legal Information Association of Newfoundland and Labrador’s Journey Project.

This funding will increase access to trauma-informed legal support for survivors of sexual violence and intimate partner violence in marginalized populations, with a particular focus on Indigenous and newcomer communities.

Legal information materials aimed at survivors will be translated to include both dialects of Innu-Aimun, Inuktitut, Arabic, Dari, and Ukrainian. Funds will also be used to translate The Journey Project website into French.
