Increasing Safety for Aboriginal Women: Key Themes and Resources
In 2010 and 2011, the Ending Violence Association of BC (EVA BC) increased its focus on safety for Aboriginal women in our Community Coordination for Women's Safety (CCWS) program, holding discussions in community groups and a regional gathering in Northwest BC in March 2011.
Many concerns about violence and ideas about increasing safety were raised in these discussions by people in Aboriginal communities, Aboriginal services, mainstream services, and coordination committees on sexual and domestic violence.
