Survivor-Centered Systems of Care Project

Centering Racialized and Newcomer Women in Gender-Based Violence Systems of Care

Building on the learning from our Roots of Safety service planning approach, the now-completed Survivor-Centered Systems of Care Project centered the experiences of racialized and newcomer women in gender-based violence systems of care to address the root causes of gender-based violence.

DIVERSEcity engaged and trained immigrant, refugee, ethnocultural, racialized women gender-based violence survivors to lead service providers in critical reflection on existing policies and practices through the lens of survivors themselves. Together, they addressed discriminatory GBV prevention and response policies, and create processes for ongoing collaboration.

This project was made possible by support and funding from WAGE Canada.

With the Survivor-Centered Systems of Care Project now complete, a legacy website remains that offers information about gender-based violence and support for survivors.
