The Interprovincial Violence Against Women (IPV) Project

About the project

Funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and Nova Scotia Health (NSH), this mixed-methods study aims to identify and mobilize knowledge around best practices for preventing and responding to violence against women (VAW), during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic across Canadian provinces. In developing our understanding of the state of the social and healthcare response to VAW and best practices, we seek to account for differences in regions and population groups. We are conducting surveys and interviews with VAW survivors and staff who support them across Ontario, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick.
