The report below highlights findings from the three components of the project’s research: a National Survey, Environmental Scan, and Key Informant Interviews.
The Canadian Femicide Observatory for Justice and Accountability (CFOJA) is a civil society, grassroots, feminist-led initiative that seeks social change to empower girls and women and to promote sex and gender equality. Preventing male violence against women and girls needs to occur if social change is to be achieved and the well-being of all Canadians ensured.
Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia (ISANS) is the leading immigrant settlement service agency in Atlantic Canada, serving 15,000+ clients annually in 100+ communities across Nova Scotia, through many kinds of services—language, settlement, community integration and employment—both in person and online.
Immigrant Migrant Women’s Association of Halifax (IMWAH) is a culturally diverse and feminist non-profit organization in Nova Scotia committed to the holistic integration of immigrant, migrant women and girls in the province.
The Gender-Based Violence Prevention Project at the YMCA Centre for Immigrant Programs is funded by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The project began in September 2017 with a focus on working with newcomer children, youth, and families to raise awareness about gender-based violence, prevention programming and how to access available resources within their community.
The Manitoba Association of Women’s Shelters (MAWS) provides a unified voice for women, children and gender diverse individuals who are affected by violence and abuse. MAWS provides leadership and support for organizations working with those experiencing abuse, by identifying and addressing common areas of need, strengthening standard practices and increasing public awareness of domestic abuse.
West Central Women’s Resource Centre empowers women, gender diverse people and their community, to move from where they are to where they want to be, by providing responsive programming, facilitating knowledge sharing and connection, and contributing to culture shift and policy transformation.
MANSO is a non-profit organization that acts as an umbrella organization for settlement service providers in Manitoba. Their mission is to facilitate newcomer integration by providing leadership, support and a unified voice for settlement and integration organizations.
SHADE’s mission is to support immigrant and refugee women, and any of their children, who have been impacted by domestic abuse / family violence / gender-based violence. Through psychosocial programming and practical support, they empower immigrant and refugee women to rebuild their lives and transition from a place of victimization to a place of healing, stability, and resiliency.
Research and Education for Solutions to Violence and Abuse (RESOLVE) is a tri-prairie, community-based research network that engages in research and education aimed at reducing the incidence and impact of family/gender-based violence, including violence against women and girls. RESOLVE is part of the five research centres on family violence and violence against women, that was established in 1992, following the 1989 Montreal Massacre (see page 6). RESOLVE Manitoba was established at the University of Manitoba as a collaboration with the University of Winnipeg and the University of Brandon, as well as with a range of public and voluntary sector organizations. They are engaged in a number of research projects in Manitoba, across the prairies and across Canada, which help to uncover the causes of family violence and generate effective strategies for action.
RESOLVE’s work seeks to understand the dynamics of family/gender-based violence by establishing effective strategies to prevent and alleviate this violence. They are based upon two main tenets, the first one is to create partnerships among community-based strategies, government policymakers and academics/researchers across the prairie provinces. The second is an action-oriented research and development paradigm, which focuses on projects with joint research and service policy innovation goals.
The three centres are located at the University of Manitoba, University of Calgary and the University of Saskatchewan.
