GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE SETTLEMENT STRATEGY PROJECT

The Gender-Based Violence Settlement Strategy is a national partnership that works collaboratively to build capacity and networks to better support newcomers, immigrants and refugees through research, creating tools and resources and sharing best practices.

What's New

Environmental Scan Literature Review

This Environmental Scan is a supplementary review that outlines key developments and publications relating to both the settlement and anti-violence sectors from January 2020 to March 2022.

Organizational Framework

We are excited to be advancing into the next phase of the project in 2022-2026 and to continue building the capacity of both sectors to better support newcomers, immigrants and refugees through a coordinated, comprehensive approach. Working collaboratively across Canada is a strategic way to make change happen.
