Victims of gender-based violence are getting new government-funded support to find ways for them to get the help they need.
The Centre for Gender and Sexual Health Equity (CGSHE), a research centre at Providence Health Care (PHC) along with UBC Youth Sexual Health Team, will be getting one million dollars to test and study a “survivor-centric and trauma-informed approach” that helps criminalized women survivors of gender-based violence.
The money is meant to help people that have been under-served, including Indigenous women, children, immigrants, refugees, women with disabilities and people in the LGBTQ community.
