Through this 24-month project, Women’s Centre for Social Justice (WomenatthecentrE) will conduct research to help improve reproductive and sexual healthcare for Indigenous, Black, and Afro-Indigenous women, girls, Two-Spirit, gender-diverse, and trans (IB-WG2SGDT) peoples, in the Greater Toronto Area. It will address the systemic barriers impacting their access to culturally safe healthcare, the effects of GBV, and policy gaps.

To do so, the project will conduct an environmental scan and literature review on reproductive justice in Canada and the U.S., engage in community consultations, and lead community-based participatory research to document lived experiences of reproductive injustice, GBV, and systemic racism. A National Advisory Council comprised of survivors, advocates, and knowledge keepers will support project oversight. In addition, a partnership with a community-directed group of birth workers of colour, living and working in Toronto will be established to ensure that the project is community-driven and culturally safe. A reproductive justice learning exchange hub will be established to share research findings, resources, and advocacy tools.

Amendment No. 1 – The supplement of $13,000 will be used for translation and knowledge mobilization activities, and for childcare costs to support people with lived experiences of marginalization and violence to attend in-person focus groups and community gatherings.

This 24-month project aims to scale Vesta Community, a survivor-centered practice, to reduce barriers to reporting gender-based violence (GBV) across Canada. It will expand services to reach marginalized populations, including immigrant, refugee, and non-status women, while addressing gaps such as limited culturally responsive services, barriers to reporting, and a lack of accessible, trauma-informed pathways to justice and support.

The project will strengthen frontline capacity through community engagement, training, and collaborative research and data gathering to better understand survivors’ needs and systemic barriers. A secure, culturally responsive platform: the Navigator Program, with enhanced privacy features will be developed to protect survivor information and provide them with trusted guides to help access services. Additionally, outreach and awareness-building activities will reduce stigma and raise awareness of available supports. Evaluation and measurement will ensure the framework’s ongoing improvement and scalability.

By the project’s end, survivors will have greater access to responsive, trauma-informed services, and the GBV sector will be better equipped to support them. Findings will be shared nationally to promote replication and systemic change.
