IPV Interventions in Alberta’s Black Communities
Project Summary
From March 2022 to March 2024, PRAN collaborated with Africa Centre to create and implement a framework for IPV prevention. The Successful Initiatives to Address Intimate Partner Violence against Women and Girls in Alberta’s Black Communities (IPV Project) was funded by Women and Gender Equality Canada (WAGE). PRAN members Dr. Okeke-Ihejirika and Dr. Yohani led the project.
The IPV Project conducted a rapid narrative review and four focus group discussions, and engaged a Working Group. Four pillars (Gender Relations; Employment, Education, and Training; Parenting; and Financial Literacy) and five key facets (gender, religion, language, age, and sexuality) anchored the project. Pillars, facets, research, and insights from the Working Group informed the project’s framework and toolkit.
Project Results
Results—Collaboration
The IPV Project engaged 105 collaborators during development and over 3100 people during implementation. Engagement with ACB communities and organizations increased awareness, understanding, and knowledge of IPV and healthy gender relations.
The framework and toolkit include a series of activities and shareable materials (events, workshops, podcast, animated videos, pamphlets, service provider handbook, and framework report). These activities and materials drove a lot of engagement and were created in collaboration with community members.
Results—Community Views
To understand the current Alberta context, the IPV project team engaged community members from major demographic groups to learn more about the community views on. Funded by a Killam Research Fund Connection grant, four focus group discussions (FGD) were held involving youth, adult women, adult men, and community leaders. Below is a table of key themes from the discussions.
Overlapping themes and discussion points between groups were removed for simplicity. Please see our Framework report for a more complete version of the table and additional details.
Project Outcomes
Three significant IPV Project outcomes:
- Strengthened and built of the gender program and staff at Africa Centre,
- Increased awareness of IPV and healthy gender relations among ACB communities,
- Increased networking and collaboration among project partners and organizations.
Rich insights and lessons on language, collaboration, and community engagement were learned through the IPV Project.
Project Outputs
In addition to the IPV Project Framework report, the team also developed a series of animated videos, pamphlets, and a podcast. Access those resources on our Tools webpage.
