Phase II of Addressing the Needs of Child Sexual Abuse Survivors adapted a second DVD that was produced in Greenland. The first DVD addresses the impacts of child sexual abuse on a child while the second DVD addresses the adult implications of child sexual abuse. It is important that both the first and second DVD are part of the training module/resources.

Due to the sensitive nature of the content and the need to have a safe environment to discuss these issues, Pauktuutit recommends that The Hidden Face curriculum be used in professional development settings until more supports and resources for sexual abuse victims, survivors and their families are available in the communities.

Pauktuutit was able to undertake Phase I of the Addressing the Needs of Child Sexual Abuse Project in 2007/08. The objectives were to adapt a DVD public awareness tool entitled The Hidden Face from Greenlandic to a Canadian Inuktitut dialect, to develop a facilitator and participant manuals, publication and accompanying workbook for a four-day training workshop for front-line workers, educators and other professionals.

Due to the sensitive nature of the content and the need to have a safe environment to discuss these issues, Pauktuutit recommends that The Hidden Face curriculum be used in professional development settings until more supports and resources for sexual abuse victims, survivors and their families are available in the communities.

This sexual health strategy is dedicated to those we have lost to HIV/AIDS and to the many dedicated individuals and organizations who are committed to reducing the current rates of STBBIs among Inuit.

Pauktuutit remains grateful to our many selfless partners, colleagues and friends who have made significant contributions to jointly creating a sexually healthy future for all.

This project was made possible by the support of the Public Health Agency of Canada.

This project worked with youth in four communities, one community in each Inuit land claim area that had participated in Journey to the Teachings (JTT) injury prevention training: Nunavik, Quebec; Nunatsiavut, Newfoundland and Labrador, Atlantic region; Inuvialuit, Northwest Territory and Nunavut (Northern Region). Journey to the Teachings was adapted to a three-day workshop specifically for youth. In each community youth were provided with various media to develop youth injury prevention messages around injury prevention related to recreation and sports to include but not limited to: skidoo use, all terrain vehicle use, boating, etc. This allowed youth to be active partners in programs and activities that affect them. Youth are the experts in how to talk to youth and are very innovative in how to get the message out. Engaging youth has always been a challenge for adults when approached from an adult perspective but if youth are provided with a venue to express themselves and offered the option of medium to develop Inuit specific messaging for youth the results will be positive and long-lasting. Messaging is directed to youth by youth. The final products have been shared with all Inuit communities via the Pauktuutit website and Youtube.

During the project, Pauktuutit partnered with all regional governments, land claim organizations and community leadership.

In 2015, Pauktuutit received funding through the federal Urban Aboriginal Strategy to undertake a comprehensive assessment of the economic participation of Inuit women across Inuit Nunangat. The goal of the project was to engage diverse stakeholders in each region of the North to explore and categorize the barriers that Inuit women face in securing sustainable employment, through entrepreneurship or in the workplace. In this way, Pauktuutit would be able to build partnerships to collaboratively determine priorities and recommendations for action to increase the engagement of Inuit women in the Arctic economy. The final result of this project is the Angiqatigik strategy.

The strategy is a reference on the needs, challenges and goals of Inuit women as they build their futures, provide for their families and contribute to their communities. The information and recommendations presented have been collected from Inuvialuit, Nunavut, Nunavik and Nunatsiavut regions, with input from more than 37 organizational stakeholders and 145 Inuit women. It is Pauktuutit’s intention that this strategy be used to raise awareness and to inform governments, educational institutions, service providers and the private sector across the North in planning to increase the engagement of Inuit women. It is only through the development of policies, programs, training and services that address the unique responsibilities and barriers faced by Inuit women that we will be able to support their equal participation in the social and economic development of Inuit Nunangat.

WEBINAR

• Webinar: Engaging Inuit Youth around Sexually Transmitted and Blood-Borne Infections (STBBIs)

Participants at our sexual health forum in November 2016 identified the need for age-appropriate, sexual health information for youth as a priority to addressing sexually transmitted blood borne infections (STBBIs) within the Inuit population. Therefore, these videos have been developed to promote the use of condoms and regular testing to reduce the burden of STBBIs within the youth population.

The messaging, targeted at youth, was developed and filmed through a collaborative process with local Inuit students attending the Nunavut Sivuniksavut (NS) Program in Ottawa. The NS students felt the best way to reach their peers was to create a video they could share on social media, that is funny and engaging versus a resource that is fear-based.
