In response to a call from the Government of Canada, Shift created a recommendation on how to mobilize more men and boys in preventing gender-based violence and promoting gender equality. The report advises that Canada should develop a sustainable, evidence-informed funding model that supports innovative ways to get more men and boys involved in the anti-violence movement. Alongside four evidence-based goals, the report recommends a series of quick wins that could kick-start a movement. The report outlines a clear path toward transformation, laying out practical steps the government should take to effect systemic change.

Shift acknowledges that we are located on Treaty 4, Treaty 6, and Treaty 7 territories and the traditional meeting grounds and home for many Indigenous Peoples, including Cree, Saulteaux, Niisitapi (Blackfoot), Métis, and Nakota Sioux, the Siksika, the Piikani (Peigan), the Kainai (Blood), the Tsuut’ina (Sacree), Ktunaxa, Secwépemc, Dene, Mountain Cree, and the Stoney Nakoda First Nations, including Chiniki, Bearpaw, and Wesley First Nations. It is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3 and Region 4. We respect the Treaties that were made, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
