$397,105.00

Nov 15, 2023 - Mar 31, 2026

Through this 28-month project, the Muslim Resource Centre for Social Support and Integration (MRCSSI) will conduct research that will help improve GBV services for at-risk groups. It will address the necessity of exploring the unique risk factors, needs, and experiences of immigrant and refugee women survivors of gender-based and family violence who come from collectivist backgrounds. To do so, the project will include collaborating with project partners to establish project governance and tools, engaging with the community, conducting data collection, analyzing data, and producing a report on the findings and recommendations. MRCSSI will develop a webinar and training materials, prepare slides and info-graphs to be presented at conferences, and publish their findings on the MRCSSI website to share information on the research findings.

Muslim Resource Centre for Social Support and Integration

Gender-Based Violence Program

The purpose of the GBV Program is to strengthen the GBV sector to address gaps in supports for two groups of survivors: 1) Indigenous women and their communities, and 2) underserved populations (including women living with a disability, non-status/refugee /immigrant women, LGBTQ2S, gender non-conforming people and ethno-cultural women) in Canada. The Program provides grant and contribution funding to Canadian organizations to improve supports to help create long-term, comprehensive solutions at the national, regional, and local levels.
