About the Organization
Funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and Nova Scotia Health (NSH), the Interprovincial Violence Against Women (IPV) Project is being conducted by an interdisciplinary team of academic researchers, advocates, service providers, women with lived experience of violence, and trainees. Our aim is to investigate how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted violence against women services and the experiences of clients accessing those services in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Ontario. The goal of this research is to identify best practices for different jurisdictions to respond to violence against women and share that knowledge with service providers, policymakers, and funders.
