Nunavummi Disabilities Makinnasuaqtiit Society

Purpose

Through this 30-month project, NDMS will conduct research that will help improve GBV services for at-risk groups. It will address the gap in GBV knowledge about disabled Inuit women and girls in Nunavut, as no literature currently exists. The project will also provide a space for participants to share their lived experience, something that has never been an order to this group, which will result in new ways of understanding GBV through an intersectional lens. To do so, the project will include sharing circles with people with lived experience across all three Nunavut regions. NDMS in collaboration with community partners and an advisory group will draft a formal report to share information on the research endings. The report will be translated, offered in plain language and will be available to anyone interested.
