Through this 22-month project, Centr'Elles will conduct research that will help improve GBV services for at-risk groups. It aims to better understand the mechanisms by which Northwest Ontario communities promote or hinder the inclusion of immigrant women from a rights and equity perspective. To do so, the project will include research activities to 1) document the forms of inclusion and exclusion of immigrant women in relation to their social and economic integration in Northwest Ontario communities; 2) analyze the forms of systemic discrimination and violence that impact the lives of immigrant women and their inclusion in host communities; and 3) document initiatives that promote positive change for immigrant women from an equity and empowerment perspective. Research activities will include individual interviews, surveys, focus groups, and support and empowerment activities. In addition, data collection strategies and research results will be analyzed and validated by a monitoring committee of key players. Centr'Elles will make a presentation to community stakeholders to share information on the research findings.
