Description:
The Multicultural Health Brokers Co-operative (MCHB) will implement a project called Culturally Responsive Access to Justice (C-RAJ) to provide equitable access to the justice system for migrants, immigrants, and refugees impacted by domestic violence. The project includes a partnership with Nalah, an initiative of the Edmonton John Howard Society (EJHS) that is staffed with Justice Support Workers (JSWs) who receive referrals from the Edmonton Police Service. MCHB's cultural brokers act as cultural guides, navigators, mediators, advocates, and community connectors, working with the survivor in the context of the needs of the family. The targeted approach was meant to help break the cycle of family and sexual violence through legal information, legal system navigation, and increasing access to culturally responsive community resources.

Department of Justice Canada
