Program Purpose:
This 36-month project will increase women’s reporting of domestic violence and improve access to culturally-relevant supports in Newfoundland. Through partnerships, community consultations and stakeholder engagement with justice-related service providers, the organization will conduct a needs assessment, build on best practices identified, and work with Elders to develop tools, protocols, and resources for women. A network of agencies will be created across the province to foster partnerships and collaboration between Indigenous women, mainstream justice supports, and front line service providers.
