Acknowledgments

We recognize that our work at Women’s College Research Institute, Women’s College Hospital and the Ontario Network of Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence Treatment Centres takes place on traditional Indigenous territories across Ontario. We also wish to acknowledge that Women’s College Hospital is located on the traditional Indigenous territories of the Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee, and the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nations. Today, the meeting place of Toronto is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island, and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work in this territory.  

Our heartfelt thanks go out to the participants in our studies, as their invaluable contributions make our research possible.

Additionally, we extend our gratitude to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRCC) for their funding, which has been instrumental in advancing our work. This site was made possible with funding from SSHRCC, which does not operate, oversee, or necessarily endorse the WebPortal or its content.
