Through this 30-month project, BIPOC USHR PEI Inc. will conduct research that will help improve Gender-Based Violence (GBV) services for immigrant/migrant women and other racialized women and gender-diverse peoples. It will address their experiences on GBV, the barriers experienced by the community, and their suggestions and advice on how to improve services, supports, and prevention interventions. To do so, the project will include consulting with community members to inform the project and collecting qualitative data with immigrant/migrant women and other racialized women and gender-diverse peoples who have experienced GBV. BIPOC USHR PEI Inc. will create a report, infographics, and a social media campaign to share information on the research findings.

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.
