Ishkuteu is a project designed to improve access to services that better meet the needs of Indigenous women experiencing intimate partner violence and related issues, both inside and outside their communities.
This detailed report presents the results of consultations held in both Indigenous and non-Indigenous shelters, as well as a report on the reality of the Indigenous women who live there. The document also includes service development perspectives dating back to the project period and including training and collaboration activities.
This publication will be particularly useful in helping you to understand the issues faced by Indigenous women, and to find ways of improving your intervention service.
