A Compilation of Research on Rural Girls' and Young Women's Issues

Girls Action Foundation compiled this research review in order to increase access to recent research about Canadian girls and young women who live in rural communities.

 
The intention behind this publication is to provide research-based support for initiatives that empower girls and young women. Research often provides important rationale, credibility, and legitimacy to girl-specific projects and programs. This publication is a quick and easy way for those who work with, and care about, girls who live in rural communities to access research that can strengthen and validate the important work that they do. 
 
This review is part of a larger project, which shines light on the potential of rural girls and young women to contribute to community development. The project engages youth and rural organizations to advance the leadership and community involvement of rural young women. 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Indigenous Young Women Lead: Our Stories, Our Strengths, Our Truths. Edited by the Native Youth Sexual Health Network

Through our work at the Native Youth Sexual Health Network across North America and during this process we have come to understand that our expressions of ideas and emotions are so much more complex and beautiful than even English allows us to show. Films, photos, spoken word, poetry, painting and storytelling - all are here and create a connected picture of Indigenous women’s leadership on this land. They speak about traditional roles before colonization began, how it continues and the creative ways we are finding to understand and implement those roles now - something we feel is absolutely central to addressing the challenges we face as Indigenous peoples. 
 
This publication is part of a larger collaborative project called Indigenous Young Women: Speaking Our Truths, Building Our Strengths.

What Their Stories Tell Us: Research findings from the Sisters In Spirit initiative

What Their Stories Tell Us: Research findings from the Sisters In Spirit initiative brings together five years of research related to missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls in Canada. The purpose of this report is to answer three fundamental questions: What are the circumstances, root causes and trends leading to violence against Aboriginal women in Canada? How many Aboriginal women and girls have gone missing or have been found murdered in Canada? And, why this violence has led to such disturbingly high numbers of missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls in Canada without connection by police or justice authorities?
