Territorial Ministers Responsible for the Status of Women
Description
Goals of the Forum were to begin a dialogue on policy and program initiatives between government officials and Aboriginal women's organizations, to share practices on violence prevention, and to showcase programs and services from across the country that are making a difference.
Looks at women's experiences in Edmonton, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Toronto, and Montreal. Research involved literature review and interviews with forty-six Inuit women, twenty-two service providers, and, when possible, focus groups. Four objectives of study were to identify motivations for migration/relocation to urban centres, examine challenges faced, discuss primary effects on roles and responsibilities, and to identify supports needed.
