Mapping impacts of intersecting identities on GBV survivors’ experiences with the legal system

FY 2023-24 · 2023-11-01

Summary
Through this 41-month project, The Provincial Association of Transition Houses and Services of Saskatchewan (PATHS) will conduct research that will help improve GBV services for at-risk groups. By using participatory feminist research methods, PATHS will map the impacts of intersecting barriers for survivors of GBV in their interactions with the legal system and provide recommendations for improvements. To do so, this project will employ qualitative and quantitative research methodology, including a survey, focus groups and one on one interviews with GBV survivors who have experienced the legal system. PATHS will produce knowledge products such as infographics and an in-depth report that will be shared widely throughout PATHS’ networks and to government policy makers. PATHS will also share research findings through a webinar and conference presentations. The results of this research project will be utilized to inform the work of PATHS member agencies, other GBV services, legal services, and PATHS’ advocacy efforts. With the supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, the Provincial Association of Transition Houses and Services of Saskatchewan (PATHS) will undertake in-depth analysis of data collected from a survey (n = 249) and focus groups (n = 67) conducted with legal system service providers, write additional journal articles/written briefs on topics arising from the findings and disseminate findings to GBV professionals. Through this, they will further advance gender equality.

Description (French)
Dans le cadre de ce projet d’une durée de 41 mois, l’organisme Provincial Association of Transition Houses and Services of Saskatchewan (PATHS) mènera des recherches qui contribueront à améliorer les services de lutte contre la VFS pour les groupes à risque. En utilisant des méthodes de recherche féministes participatives, PATHS cartographiera les répercussions des obstacles croisés pour les personnes survivantes de VFS dans leurs interactions avec le système juridique et fournira des recommandations d’amélioration. Pour ce faire, ce projet utilisera une méthodologie de recherche qualitative et quantitative, notamment une enquête, des groupes de discussion et des entretiens individuels avec des personnes survivantes de VFS qui ont été aux prises avec le système juridique. PATHS élaborera des produits de connaissances comme des infographies et un rapport détaillé qui seront largement partagés au sein des réseaux de PATHS et auprès des décisionnaires politiques gouvernementaux. PATHS communiquera également les résultats de la recherche à travers un webinaire et des présentations lors de conférences. Les résultats de ce projet de recherche seront utilisés pour éclairer le travail des agences membres de PATHS, d’autres services de lutte contre la violence fondée sur le sexe, les services juridiques et les efforts de plaidoyer de PATHS. Grâce aux fonds supplémentaires et à la prolongation accordés au début de 2026, l’organisme Provincial Association of Transition Houses and Services of Saskatchewan (PATHS) entreprendra une analyse approfondie des données recueillies dans la cadre d’un sondage (n = 249) et de groupes de discussion (n = 67) menés auprès de fournisseurs de services du système juridique, rédigera des articles de revues ou des mémoires écrits sur les sujets découlant des résultats et diffusera les résultats aux spécialistes de la violence fondée sur le sexe. Ce faisant, l’organisme contribuera davantage à l’avancement de l’égalité des genres.

Program Name (French)
Programme de financement de la lutte contre la violence fondée sur le sexe
Program Purpose
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.
Program Purpose (French)
Le Programme de financement de la lutte contre la violence fondée sur le sexe (le Programme) vise à renforcer la lutte contre la violence fondée sur le sexe (VFS) et, en particulier, à remédier au manque de soutien pour deux catégories de survivantes et survivants, soit : 1) les femmes autochtones et leurs communautés; et 2) les populations sous-desservies au Canada (notamment les femmes handicapées, les femmes réfugiées, immigrantes ou en situation irrégulière, les personnes allosexuelles et les femmes des minorités ethnoculturelles). Il s’agit d’un programme de subventions et contributions pour les organismes canadiens qui mènent des projets visant à améliorer les mesures d’aide offertes et à créer des solutions durables et complètes à l’échelle nationale, régionale et locale.
