The Battered Women’s Support Services is launching “Colour of Violence: Race, Gender & Anti-Violence Services”

As part of the #16DaysofActivism Against Gender-Based Violence, BWSS is thrilled to announce the launch of their community-based research report, Colour of Violence: Race, Gender & Anti-Violence Services, which places racialized survivors at the center of anti-violence work.

This report identifies key barriers in accessing anti-violence services, and also offers concrete best practices for service providers developing anti-violence interventions. The report and our accompanying toolkit are intended to be used as catalysts for positive change to increase access, safety, and justice for Indigenous, Black, newcomer immigrant/refugee, and racialized survivors in this province.

Join in the launch event webinar:

  • Wednesday November 30, 2022
  • Online Webinar @ 11 am – 1 pm PST / 2 pm – 4 pm EST. With ASL interpretation.

Speakers:

  • Paulette Senior (elle): CEO and President, Canadian Women’s Foundation
  • Leslie Spillett Giizhigoweyaabbikkew, Mukwa Doodem (she/her/Iskwew): Cree/Metis community kohkum and organizer, Ongomiizwin Indigenous Institute of Health and Healing
  • Summer Rain: Manager of Direct Services and Indigenous Women’s Program, Battered Women’s Support Services
  • Angela Marie MacDougall (she/her) and Harsha Walia (she/her), co-authors of BWSS’s “Colour of Violence: Race, Gender & Anti-Violence Services” report
