Researching Barriers of Gender-Based Violence Services for Canadian Muslims through Community-Driven Knowledge Mobilisation
This project focuses on understanding the challenges that Muslim women face in accessing services for gender-based violence (GBV). Challenges include language, status, discrimination, money, health, disabilities, and various identities. The main goal is to help the Muslim community better address GBV issues. Specifically, to ensure that the unique experiences of Muslims are considered in the Canadian government's plan to end GBV. This research project in Halton will seek solutions to help Muslim women feel comfortable reporting GBV and getting support from services and their communities. This work is building off of our community based research in 2021.
