Deadline: 14 December 2018
The Government of Canada’s Department of Justice Canada (Justice) has announced a Anticipatory Call for Proposals that seeks to fill gaps in information and resources to support complainants of workplace sexual harassment.
This call for proposals will help make workplaces harassment free by providing complainants of workplace sexual harassment with access to legal advice when dealing with workplace sexual harassment, and by increasing public awareness and knowledge about sexual harassment in the workplace.
This call includes two initiatives:
- Public Legal Education and Information – Workplace Sexual Harassment Component
- Legal advice and information – Workplace Sexual Harassment Component
Through these initiatives, Justice also seeks to fund the development, enhancement, or expansion of community services for complainants of workplace sexual harassment, with emphasis on collaborative models so that the justice sector is connected to the social and health sectors. Partnered organizations may apply for funding under both components with the goal of providing coordinated and holistic services to workers who have been sexually harassed in their workplace.
Available Funding
The level of funding will vary from project to project based on the nature of the proposed activities and the scope of the population served.
Project Length
The length of applicant’s project will depend on the initiative, activities and budget proposed, up to a maximum of 5 years.
Eligibility Criteria
- Justice is strongly encourage organizations that have experience working on justice issues, whether through their mandate or through experience, to submit proposals.
- Justice Canada is also open to working with new and non-traditional applicants (e.g. social services, immigration settlement services), especially those that have experience with public legal education and information (PLEI) and awareness activities related to justice issues.
- Applicants should be able to demonstrate in the proposal their experience in the development of information, strategies and tools to promote an understanding of the law as it applies to labour and justice issues.
- To ensure that services are available nationally, applicants will be selected from across the country.
