Peter MacKay, the new Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, was in Kentville July 26 to announce support for a new project that will engage men and boys in ending violence against women and girls.
Chrysalis House Association is receiving $185,000 in funding for a 24-month project that will engage the population in the rural counties of West Hants, Kings and Annapolis in the western region of Nova Scotia.
"We are working with organizations across the country to end violence against women and girls and to offset its destructive impact on our communities,"said MacKay. "This project will engage local men and boys to play an important leadership role in ending the violence."
MacKay said that his department hopes to introduce a Victims Bill of Rights this fall so that the innocent are not re-victimized by the system.
He thanked "Chrysalis House staff and all transition houses across the province for a true labour of love. It makes a difference."
Rhonda Fraser, executive director of Chrysalis House Association, said she’s excited about the project.
"It is important to do all we can to prevent violence against women and girls," said Fraser. "We are pleased to partner with the government of Canada on this project to engage local men and boys in understanding the roots of gender-based violence and leading the way to safer communities for everyone."
Sociologist Bruce Dienes, who will co-ordinate the project, said he was very excited to be involved in this worldwide movement.
He indicated the aim is to educate males at a young age through to adults about how to intervene to prevent violence.
Dienes spoke about the Steubenville High School rape in Ohio, where two male students were sent to jail, and stated that the perpetrators had the power to do damage while still children.
A needs assessment in each county will be the first priority. The project runs until March 2015.
An advisory committee made up of 20 community partners and stakeholders will help guide the project. They include members from the RCMP, NSCC, First Nations, African Nova Scotians and Acadian communities.
This project to end gender-based violence is being supported under Status of Women Canada’s call for proposals, Working Together: Engaging Communities to End Violence against Women and Girls.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE- HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA- One billion rising
SHAME NDP NOVA SCOTIA- ???? come on
MISPLACED CHARITY
The Nova Scotia government recently announced $200,000 in new funding for 13 organizations, including Avalon Sexual Assault Centre, Pictou Women’s Centre and Mi’kmaw Legal Support Network, to allow them to better work against sexual assault.
This works out to only $15,000 per centre. What a slap to all women and children who seek assistance as they face sexual and other kinds of brutality, primarily from their intimate partners. This paltry sum is all the more astonishing in the wake of the Rehtaeh Parsons case, which demonstrated the huge need to fight sexual assault of girls as young as 15.
Meanwhile, our NDP government has given more than $260 million to the Irvings in anticipation of the federal ships contract. The government has also paid $10 million a year for the next 10 years to IBM to outsource the government payroll.
And the government gave Cooke Aquaculture $25 million to help with their fish-farm business. Irving, IBM, and Cooke are not charities, but the 13 women’s advocacy centres are. Shame on the government. Where are its priorities?

It is our sincere pleasure to share with you the launch announcement of our latest resource: Engaging Men and Boys to Reduce and Prevent Gender-Based Violence, an Issue Brief commissioned by Status of Women Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada.
The White Ribbon Campaign (WRC) would like to gratefully acknowledge the support and confidence of Status of Women Canada (SWC) and the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) in selecting us to prepare this important Issue Brief: Engaging Men and Boys to Reduce and Prevent Gender-Based Violence.
This Issue Brief was commissioned to provide an overview of efforts to engage men of all ages in efforts to reduce and prevent gender-based violence in Canada and around the world.
Engaging men and boys is an essential component of realizing transformative change on the issue of gender-based violence.
This Issue Brief is rooted in three basic premises:
1.Work with men and boys is necessary. As perpetrators, the target audience for primary prevention, holders of the social norms and influencers on other men, men must to be engaged to reduce and prevent gender-based violence.
2.Work with men and boys can be effective. As the evidence base grows, evaluation data appears, lessons are learned, and best practices are shared, we know this may be the missing compliment to past decades of work.
3.Work with men and boys can be positive. There is a much broader spectrum of positive roles for men and boys to play than perpetrator or potential perpetrator of gender-based violence. These roles not only prevent and reduce violence against women and promote gender equality, but also improve the lives of men and boys by freeing them from these harmful and limiting aspects of masculinities.
The Issue Brief examines the many dimensions of gender-based violence; impacts on communities of interest; the evidence base, frameworks, strategies and positive roles men can play; and finally some of the risks, limitations and additional considerations in this field of work.
In all of our efforts at the WRC we salute the courage and conviction of every woman who has fought for gender equality and struggled to end violence against women and girls; you have been at the fore of this work for decades, we are humbled and inspired by the work you have done. It is our sincere hope that this Issue Brief will contribute to our shared vision of ending gender-based violence in Canada.

VIBE Premiere: Classified '3 Foot Tall' Video-OFFICIAL VIDEO

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BV_b9zTUvs&feature=player_embedded
In the follow-up to his chart-topping single "Inner Ninja," rapper Classified doesn't fall short of delivering his message on "3 Foot Tall." In the video, the Canadian spitter recruits a pint-sized voice box to battle against negative verbal warfare. "When you're alone, life can be a little rough/ It makes you feel like you're 3 foot tall/ When it's just you, well times can be tough/ When there's no one there to catch your fall," sings the toddler with a faux black eye. With words like "dummy," "loser," and the more sexually charged "faggot" and "lesbian" sprawled across the clip, the writings on the wall come at a time where digital bullying has run rampant in the younger generation, especially with the presence of social media. Still, it's the ability to overcome that stands above all. Watch the rapper also known as Luke Boyd preach the good word in the video below. - See more at: http://www.vibe.com/article/classified-3-foot-tall-video#sthash.q3GzUtE2.dpuf
