May 22nd and 23rd, 2003 - A two-day forum in Ottawa provided an opportunity for workers on the frontlines of partner violence in the 7 cities concerned (Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Halifax, Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver) to discuss the draft "Nowhere to Turn?" research report. Three immigrant women survivors of domestic violence offered stirring testimonials, and participants engaged in presentations and discussions focusing on:

  • Greater cultural competency development for the justice system as well as agencies delivering victimization services;
  • Culturally appropriate education on violence against women for immigrant and visible minority community groups;
  • Building networks and partnerships for addressing violence against women in immigrant and visible minority communities.
