Courage to Act is a multi-year national initiative to address and prevent gender-based violence (GBV) at post-secondary institutions (PSIs) in Canada from 2019 - 2024. 

It builds on key recommendations within Possibility Seeds’ vital report “Courage to Act: Developing a National Framework to Address and Prevent Gender-Based Violence at Post-Secondary Institutions.”

Courage to Act is the Canadian government’s national framework for responding to gender-based violence at post-secondary institutions (colleges, universities, and CEGEPs). Significantly, it is the first-ever collaboration to convene 4800+ survivors, student leaders, frontline workers, legal experts, union leaders, post-secondary educators, staff, and administrators from across Canada to take action on this issue. A core principle of this project is ensuring that those most affected are at the forefront of knowledge creation and advocacy. We have created 84 cutting-edge publicly available and free-of-charge tools to download.
