This podcast explores the experiences of gender-based violence (GBV) by migrant and refugee women in Canada. As a part of the GBV-MIG Canada Research Program, it aims to show how structural and systemic factors such as policies and legislation shape the violence that migrant and refugee women and girls are likely to experience in Canada.
In this episode, host Dr. Pauline Tennent speaks with Dr. Lori Wilkinson (University of Manitoba) and Dr. Evie Tastsoglou (Saint Mary’s University) about the GBV-MIG Canada Research Program. In particular, they talk about how the project came to be, and provide important background information about gender-based violence (GBV) experienced by migrant and refugee women in Canada.
In the second episode of the podcast, host Dr. Pauline Tennent discusses with Dr. Evie Tastsoglou (Saint Mary’s University) and Dr. Cathy Holtmann (University of New Brunswick) about the underlying systemic factors which shape gender-based violence (GBV) for migrant and refugee women (MRW). Using intersectional feminist and social ecological approaches, this episode explores how inequalities and identities shape the social determinants of health and well-being of MRW.
For the final episode of this podcast, Dr. Pauline Tennent speaks with Dr. Lori Wilkinson (University of Manitoba) and Dr. Cathy Holtmann (University of New Brunswick). Together, they ask the important question, “What can be done?”, in response to stories of survival and resilience from migrant and refugee women in living through gender-based violence.
