WHAT THEIR STORIES TELL US: RESEARCH FINDINGS FROM THE SISTERS IN SPIRIT INITIATIVE
As of March 31, 2010, the Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC) has gathered information about the disappearance or death of more than 580 Aboriginal women and girls across Canada. This finding is the result of quantitative and qualitative research carried out over a period of five years. In 2005, NWAC secured funding for the Sisters In Spirit initiative – a five-year research, education and policy initiative supported by Status of Women Canada – to address the root causes, circumstances and trends of missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls. NWAC has collected the evidence to document, in systematic way, issues of violence that women, families, and communities had been pointing to for the last generation.

THE HEALING JOURNEY PROJECT
About the Healing Journey:
Resolve Manitoba launched an ambitious tri-provincial study of women who had experienced violence from their intimate partners. Our goal is to document the efforts women make to secure a safe and violence-free life for themselves and their family. While all of the women participating in our study share the experience of intimate partner violence, they all deal with experience in very different circumstances. In 2004 the RESOLVE team of researchers and community partners was awarded a $1 million grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) to finance this study entitled The Healing Journey: A Longitudinal Study of Women Who have been Abused by Intimate Partners. The project involves a longitudinal study of approximately 200 women in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
From the Research Proposal:
In the last two decades Canadians have witnessed an expanding number of services for women who have been abused by intimate partners. Concurrently, there has been a growing body of research in the social sciences, which has increased our knowledge through quantitative studies of the prevalence of the problem and through qualitative research we have heard the voices of women who have endured such abuse.
While the research to date has been rich in information and insight, no Canadian studies have been able to follow women over the longer period required by many to achieve safety and comfort in their homes. In addition, while there have been a few excellent comparative studies of access to services across jurisdiction, these studies have been limited to snapshot observations at one point in time. The Healing Journey Project is building on the strengths of past research to provide a tri-provincial comparison of the experiences of abused women over a longer period of time.
The contribution of this research to community-based agencies is expected to be substantial. The ability to follow a group of women over time, who have variously experienced assistance in shelters, counseling programs, utilized protection or prevention orders and may have experienced police and court interventions will provide agencies with a rich source of information on women's help-seeking behaviour, trajectories of healing, and children's issues. The contribution to policy makers is expected to be equally substantial. Through the voices of women and their lives and the lives of their children, we are learning about the most effective interventions, the challenges of breaking inter-generational cycles of abuse, the differential roles played by formal and informal help, and the merits of civil and criminal justice interventions. The contribution to the academic community will follow and we expect to inform theories of empowerment, understandings of the link between social policy and personal/social change and the most promising interventions for child victim/witnesses.
The study is providing a rich source of research material in the fields of psychology, sociology, social work, nursing, law and education.
2012 - This project is officially finished though coding, cleaning, and dissemination continues.
