Support you can get
The Ending Violence Against Women and Girls (EVAWG) Strategic Framework was launched by the NI Executive Office in September 2024.
Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council is offering funding between £1,000 and £5,000 to help mobilise grassroots action, support innovative delivery, and maximise the impact of community-led initiatives.
Examples of activities that align with these prevention outcomes could include
- awareness campaigns hosting workshops or creating digital campaigns that educate participants on what constitutes gender-based violence, everyday misogyny, and steps to foster respectful interactions
- capacity-building events partnering with organisations like Women’s Aid or PSNI to provide training for community groups on recognising and responding to signs of domestic or sexual violence
- community discussions organising open forums or roundtable discussions focussing on the EVAWG Strategic Framework and gather local perspectives on how best to implement prevention measures
