2019-20 Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy

April 2019

1. Context for the Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy

Although the Department for Women and Gender Equality is not bound by the Federal Sustainable Development Act and is not required to develop a full departmental sustainable development strategy, the Department for Women and Gender Equality adheres to the principles of the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS) by implementing the Policy on Green Procurement.

The Policy on Green Procurement supports the Government of Canada’s effort to promote environmental stewardship. In keeping with the objectives of the policy, the Department for Women and Gender Equality supports sustainable development by integrating environmental performance considerations into the procurement decision‑making process through the actions described in the “FSDS goal: low-carbon government” table in section 2.

Gender-based analysis plus

General information
Governance structures

As the primary federal department responsible for advancing gender equality, gender is a fundamental consideration in all programs and initiatives undertaken by the Department for Women and Gender Equality (“the Department”). As a result, gender-based analysis plus (GBA+) is embedded in the Department’s core activities and decision-making processes. This applies to the Expertise and Outreach program, which captures the Department’s policy, research, external relations, promotion and commemoration functions, as well as the Community Action and Innovation program, through which the Department provides grants and contributions (Gs&Cs) to implement projects designed to address systemic barriers to gender equality. 

The Department also has a GBA+ implementation team that reports directly to the Department's DG-level GBA+ Champion. The GBA+ Champion reports to the Department’s deputy minister (DM) and ensures that GBA+ is implemented in all policy activities by:

  • Providing oversight and accountability for how GBA+ is integrated throughout the Department’s Treasury Board Submissions and Memoranda to Cabinet; and
  • Overseeing the Department’s tracking of progress implementing the Government’s 2016-2020 GBA+ Action Plan. 

In addition, the Department ensures that GBA+ is integrated into all decision-making processes through the following governance bodies and accountability mechanisms: 

The Department for Women and Gender Equality’s Departmental Results Framework:

The Departmental Results Framework (DRF) is the Department’s performance measurement framework of record. It presents the Department’s Core Responsibility, the results the Department is seeking to achieve and the indicators to measure outcomes. The DRF is complemented by Program Information Profiles (PIPs), which support performance measurement, evaluation and reporting for each Program in the Department’s Program Inventory. Gender considerations and GBA+ are incorporated throughout the Department’s DRF and PIPs, which form the basis of annual plans and performance reports including the Departmental Plan and the Departmental Results Report. As a result, the DRF and PIPs act as accountability mechanisms to ensure that GBA+ is integrated into departmental decision-making processes.  

Executive Committee (EXCOM):

The Executive Committee (EXCOM) is the Department’s senior decision-making and priority-setting body. It is chaired by the Deputy Minister and composed of senior management from all departmental areas and functions, including the GBA+ Champion. EXCOM meetings take place weekly and serve to establish priorities, oversee the delivery of the Department’s work, take stock of progress and adjust priorities, as required. As a permanent member of EXCOM, the GBA+ Champion ensures that GBA+ is considered in all departmental activities and integrated into all decision-making processes.

Canada’s Strategy to Prevent and Address Gender-Based Violence: 

The Minister of the Department for Women and Gender Equality has been mandated to implement and monitor a comprehensive gender violence strategy. It’s Time: Canada’s Strategy to Prevent and Address Gender-Based Violence, launched in 2017, aligns all federal Gender-Based Violence (GBV) efforts. A thorough GBA+ was conducted for each initiative funded under the Strategy. Through the GBV Knowledge Centre, the Department chairs the governance of a three-committee structure for the Strategy: the Deputy Head Steering Committee, the Director General’s Coordinating Committee, and the Interdepartmental Coordinating Committee. These three committees are responsible for the strategic leadership, development, implementation, and monitoring of the Strategy, as well as ensuring a GBA+ lens is applied to all activities.

Minister’s Advisory Council on Canada’s Strategy to Prevent and Address Gender-Based Violence (Advisory Council):

Established in 2016, the Advisory Council serves as a forum on issues related to GBV and provides guidance related to the development and implementation of the Strategy. Advisory Council members come from a broad range of sectors and areas of expertise and have been selected to reflect expertise in prevention, support for survivors, and justice system responses. The Advisory Council works from an intersectional feminist approach to address particular barriers facing diverse groups such as Indigenous women and girls, young women and girls, LGBTQ2 and gender non-binary persons, newcomer and migrant women and girls, and women and girls with disabilities. 

Advisory Committee on the Framework to Prevent and Address Gender-Based Violence at Post-Secondary Institutions:

The Advisory Committee on the Framework to Prevent and Address Gender-Based Violence at Post-Secondary Institutions held its inaugural meeting on January 16, 2019. The Committee will provide feedback and advice on the development, consultation and implementation of the framework. Members of the Advisory Committee come from a broad range of sectors and areas of expertise and have been selected to speak to the particular barriers facing diverse groups such as Indigenous women and girls, young women and girls, LGBTQ2 and gender non-binary persons, newcomer and migrant women and girls, and women and girls with disabilities.

Indigenous Women’s Circle:

The Deputy Minister’s Indigenous Women’s Circle (IWC) plays an advisory role to the Department and members provide advice and guidance on our initiatives, policies, and programs. The IWC’s advice and guidance helps the Department apply an intersectional gender and diversity lens to its activities. The IWC also provides strategic guidance and expertise to inform federal efforts to address the systemic inequalities that Indigenous women experience, particularly those related to issues of GBV, economic insecurity, and Indigenous leadership. It provides an opportunity to learn from activities that are showing success and that have broader applicability, both in Indigenous communities and the Government of Canada. Members of the IWC come from a broad range of sectors and include First Nations, Métis, Inuit, youth, and Elders, with representation coming from all parts of the country. 

GBA+ Implementation Team:

In December 2018, new legislation created the Department for Women and Gender Equality, transforming the former Status of Women Canada into an official department of the Government of Canada. The Department’s mandate, which includes the promotion of a greater understanding of the intersection of sex and gender with other identity factors, establishes the Department as a centre of gender expertise that provides advice to government to achieve Canada’s gender equality outcomes and goals and serves as a central point for sharing expertise to inform and support Canada’s gender equality priorities.

In addition to implementing GBA+ in its own programming areas, the Department supports the implementation of GBA+ across the federal government and supports federal institutions in their efforts to mainstream GBA+ in line with the Action Plan on Gender-Based Analysis (2016-2020), developed in response to the 2015 Auditor General report on GBA+. The GBA+ Implementation Team provides gender-intersectional policy guidance, develops and disseminates learning materials and training tools, and organizes events to support GBA+ integration across the federal system. The Department co-ordinates quarterly inter-departmental meetings, manages knowledge-sharing and collaboration platforms for a wide range of stakeholders, including the federal-provincial/territorial networks, and coordinates monitoring and evaluation activities to advance the whole-of-government GBA+ implementation framework. 

The Department for Women and Gender Equality works closely with the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) and the Privy Council Office (PCO) to integrate mandatory GBA+ considerations in decision-making related to policy, programs, service delivery, planning and performance management mechanisms across government. As per the Action Plan 2016-2020, accountability is ensured through the Public Service Management Advisory Committee (PSMAC), which includes deputy ministers from forty-five departments. Monitoring mechanisms include the Departmental Results Framework and the GBA+ Implementation Survey. The GBA+ Implementation Survey provides the opportunity for federal departments and agencies to report on the state of GBA+ implementation in their organizations, what challenges were encountered, and the impacts of GBA+ on initiatives.

Human resources GBA+ is embedded in all of the Department’s activities and is a central component for the organization’s entire workforce. However, the Department’s GBA+ Implementation Team has 10 FTEs that will be specifically dedicated to GBA+ implementation in 2019-20, including the Department’s GBA+ Champion.
Planned initiatives

GBA+ is a fundamental consideration in all initiatives undertaken by the Department and is embedded in all policy and program areas, including: Policy and External Relations; Communications; Women’s Program; and Internal Services. In 2019-20, major initiatives where GBA+ will be applied and monitored include:

Canada’s Strategy to Prevent and Address Gender-Based Violence

The Department has five funded initiatives under the Strategy that will each consider GBA+ during their development and implementation. These initiatives include the following:

  1. Youth Awareness Campaign

    The Youth Awareness Campaign on GBV, including online GBV, will apply a GBA+ lens to the development of the awareness campaign, including during the stakeholder consultations, to ensure a campaign that includes the voices of youth who are the most at-risk, underserved and marginalized.

  2. Gender-Based Violence Program

    An External Review Committee (ERC) made of stakeholders from other federal departments and from diverse backgrounds (i.e., Indigenous people, people with disability, racialized women) was established to support the Department in the assessment of concepts received through the first GBV Program Call for Concepts, launched in January 2018. The ERC ensures that diverse perspectives are applied when reviewing concepts submitted to the GBV Program. 

  3. Gender-Based Violence at Post-Secondary Institutions

    The Women’s Program will work with key stakeholders to develop and implement a framework to ensure consistent, comprehensive, and sustainable approaches to prevent and address GBV at post-secondary institutions across the country. To develop this framework, an Advisory Committee has been established.  Members have been selected to speak to the particular barriers facing diverse groups such as Indigenous women and girls, young women and girls, LGBTQ2 and gender non-binary persons, newcomer and migrant women and girls, and women and girls with disabilities. 

  4. GBV Research

    GBV Research seeks to build knowledge in view of developing evidence-based policies, programs and initiatives to prevent and address GBV. The Department’s research activities incorporate a GBA+ perspective at all stages of the research cycle, from the framing of research questions, to gathering data, conducting analysis, and disseminating results. 

    Through letters of agreement with Statistics Canada to develop and execute three national surveys, GBV Research will enhance understanding of GBV broadly and in specific contexts, including in postsecondary situations and at work. These surveys will allow Canada to monitor progress over time, and analysis of these data in reports and publications will contribute to evidence-based decision making. The surveys will enhance the availability of data to inform GBA+ in public policy. 

    In addition to the national surveys, the GBV Research team will contract academics and other researchers to conduct knowledge synthesis, primary and secondary research aimed at building knowledge to prevent and address GBV. These projects will provide new data and analysis on subpopulations to further inform GBA+.

  5. GBV Knowledge Centre’s Online Platform

    Launched in December 2018, the GBV Knowledge Centre’s online platform is a searchable online tool that facilitates the alignment of existing federal resources and supports the sharing of research, data and promising practices to enable more coordinated action to address GBV. A GBA+ lens will be applied to establish inclusion criteria for the addition of provincial/territorial resources and federally funded external resources. This will help ensure that inclusive and comprehensive information is made available for all populations at risk of experiencing GBV

Gender Results Framework:

Budget 2018 introduced the Gender Results Framework, which represents the Government of Canada’s vision for gender equality. This whole-of-government tool supports the application of robust GBA+ to programs and policies by providing tangible methods to track how Canada is currently performing, defining what is needed to achieve greater equality, and determining how progress will be measured. To complement the tabling of Budget 2019, the Department developed the Gender Results Framework Portal, an up-to-date source of data and research relevant to the Framework’s indicators. In 2019-20, the Department will continue to oversee the implementation of the Framework by establishing and providing ongoing support to an interdepartmental governance structure and working with central agencies to incorporate the Framework in annual government planning and reporting activities. The Department will continue to undertake and fund research and data collection in support of the Framework to fill existing gaps in knowledge and increase the available evidence on issues related to gender equality. The Department will also work with Statistics Canada’s Centre for Gender, Diversity and Inclusion Statistics and the Department of Finance Canada to develop the first biennial report on the state of gender equality in Canada.

National Conversations on Gender Equality with Young Canadians:

The Department will engage young Canadians in dialogue about behaviours and attitudes that perpetuate gender inequalities and what actions would support social change towards a more inclusive society. The initiative will be delivered through a national stream and an Indigenous stream, both of which will be co-developed with young Canadians. 

Engaging Men and Boys as Partners in Advancing Gender Equality:

The Department is developing a strategy to engage men and boys as partners in advancing gender equality. The Strategy is an accelerator for achieving gender equality and strengthening the government’s commitment to GBA+, promoting a greater understanding of the intersection of sex and gender with other identity factors. For example, programs and initiatives under the Strategy must recognize the unique experiences and identities of men and boys (i.e. race, religion, socio-economic status, gender identity and expression, and, geography) to be effective in transforming power relations and promoting gender equality.

Governance structures

A Deputy Heads (DH) Governance Committee composed of all signatory departments and federal entities meets twice a year, or more frequently as needed. It is chaired by the Deputy Minister of the Department for Women and Gender Equality. To support the work of the DH Governance Committee, a Director General (DG) Coordinating Committee and a working-level Interdepartmental Coordinating Committee (ICC) have also been established.

The mandate of the ICC is to support the DH and DG committees in their roles to provide strategic oversight to Strategy implementation, ensure regular monitoring and reporting to Canadians on action plan activities and their impacts, ensure coherence and coordination of plan activities, and inform the evaluation and continuous improvement of the Strategy and action plan. The DG Committee and ICC meet quarterly to review progress on the initiative.

In addition, the Minister for Women and Gender Equality formed the Advisory Council on the Strategy to Prevent and Address Gender-Based Violence in June 2016. The Advisory Council serves as a forum to exchange views, promising practices and research on issues related to GBV. The members of the Advisory Council come from a broad range of sectors and areas of expertise to offer guidance and insights related to the development and implementation of the Strategy.

Total federal funding allocated (from start to end date) (dollars) $219,078,431 from 2017-18 to 2022-23 and $42,700,000 per year ongoing starting in 2023-24.

Planning highlights

In 2019-20, the Department for Women and Gender Equality will continue to operationalize the Knowledge Centre (KC) and the online platform, launched in December 2018. As the focal point of the GBV Strategy, the KC facilitates the alignment of existing federal resources, coordinates new federal initiatives, supports the sharing of research and data, ensures alignment with provincial and territorial strategies, and accounts publicly for results. Over the reporting period, the Department will also:

  • continue to undertake and fund research to fill knowledge and data gaps on GBV through calls and requests for proposals, as well as through partnerships with academics, civil society and private sector organizations, as well as with provincial/territorial and other federal departments;
  • collaborate with Statistics Canada on three national surveys to gather much needed data and information on GBV in public and private spaces, post-secondary environments, and workplaces. Initial results from the Survey of Safety in Public and Private Spaces and from the Survey on the Individual Safety of the Postsecondary Student Population are expected to be available in 2019-20. A survey on sexual misconduct in the workplace will also be launched over the reporting period;
  • launch an awareness campaign to engage youth in a national dialogue on GBV, including online GBV;
  • support organizations working in the GBV sector in developing and implementing promising practices to address gaps in supports for survivors and their families, through the GBV Program; and
  • invest in an initiative that will work with stakeholders to develop and implement a framework to prevent and address GBV at post-secondary institutions.

DND will continue to reinforce education and awareness, while ensuring that Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members and their families are supported by services received through Family Crisis Team programming and the program supporting sexual assault centres near CAF bases. DND will:

  • ensure that each Base/Wing across Canada has an active team with standardized policies and procedures in place to support their work;
  • launch a revamped Family Violence Prevention Awareness Campaign and a suite of education materials for CAF leadership, members and families to increase the understanding of the spectrum of violence and the support services that are available in their local communities; and
  • promote a coordinated approach across DND and the CAF to ensure that all necessary stakeholders are engaged with Canada’s Strategy to Prevent and Address Gender-Based Violence.

PHAC will continue to promote healthy relationships and prevent child maltreatment and dating violence among teens/youth by supporting the delivery and testing of innovative programs. PHAC will also support the development of training curricula for health and allied professionals about GBV, trauma-informed care, and safety planning.

Over fiscal year 2019-20, PS will continue to support the Canadian Centre for Child Protection’s Project Arachnid, a web-crawler that detects whether abuse content remains available on flagged websites and sends take-down notices to service providers. PS will also continue to provide the Children of the Street Society funding to develop targeted awareness activities related to online child sexual exploitation, including developing and delivering over 300 preventative and educational workshops in order to prevent and raise awareness of online child sexual exploitation. More specifically, the project will give children and youth information and practical tools to help them keep safe from online sexual exploitation. Prevention and education measures will also be aimed at adults who care for, or work with young people, such as parents, caregivers, educators, service providers and allied health professionals. In addition, PS will undertake research, awareness and intervention activities aimed at preventing and addressing bullying and cyberbullying behaviours. In 2019-20, these activities will include:

  • the implementation of community-based bullying/cyberbullying intervention projects;
  • the preparation of research reports to provide an overview of recent advances in cyberbullying research; and
  • the development of a public awareness strategy to inform youth and parents of the harms and consequences of cyberbullying.

RCMP will be offering cultural competency and trauma-informed training to employees. This training, which will be rolled out in 2019-20, will improve capacity across the RCMP to effectively respond to GBV in a gender and culturally sensitive manner, including response to GBV and to violence against Indigenous women and girls. The RCMP will also enhance its capacity to combat online sexual exploitation of children and transnational child sex offenders and will continue its review of “unfounded” sexual assault cases.

IRCC will fund the development of a national strategy to coordinate and standardize a settlement sector approach to GBV and increase the capacity of front line settlement workers as well as enhance place based services for newcomers and refugees. With the collaboration of settlement and anti-violence sector experts, this national strategy will include an initial needs assessment to identify existing initiatives and resources, the standardization of policies and protocols on GBV, and the development of online as well as place based training that is culturally competent and trauma-informed. This training will improve the capacity of settlement workers to effectively respond to GBV as well as adopt a preventative response that strengthens the capacity of newcomers and refugees, including men and boys, to engage on the issue. IRCC will also advance best practices that address emerging GBV issues for this sector along with effective resources for stakeholders to support a strong cross-sectoral approach.
