Capacity Building for the Prevention of Gender-Based Violence and Human Trafficking
About Aura Freedom’s Training:
This training builds the capacity of participants with the knowledge and tools to identify, prevent, and respond to different forms of violence against women, gender-based violence, and human/sex trafficking. Rooted in Aura Freedom’s award-winning prevention programming and survivor-led research, our education goes far beyond awareness—it fosters critical thinking, strengthens frontline capacity, and promotes equity and safety in communities.
Facilitators explore the systemic roots of violence—including patriarchy, colonialism and racism—while highlighting current trends in Canada, safety planning strategies, and survivor-centred best practices. Participants engage in role-play, case studies, and self-reflection to enhance real-world application.
