Description
Focuses on results of the survey 'The Impacts of COVID-19 on Indigenous Women and Gender-Diverse People in Canada". Key findings were that women were more worried about violence than most COVID issues; more women were experiencing violence, with the most vulnerable residing in the North, under 35, and financially impacted; romantic partners were seen as the biggest source of violence, and a strong correlation between violence and financial impacts.
