Webinar: GBV and Disability Justice: Moving Toward Collective Liberation
In June 2025, the Government of New Brunswick joined other provinces in declaring gender-based violence (GBV) both an epidemic and a systemic issue. Disabled women and girls are up to three times more likely to experience GBV than their non-disabled peers, yet the significance of this disparity is often obscured by limited or confusing information in a climate focused on setting priorities for action. This webinar seeks to clarify these complexities and deepen understanding of the intersections between GBV and disability. Drs. Yvonne Simpsn and Stefanie Hunt-Kennedy will examine ableism as a form of structural power and privilege, demonstrating its central role in shaping the prevalence of GBV and the barriers faced by disabled women and girls in accessing support, safety, and justice.
Webinar: Survivor’s Rights in the Criminal Justice System: Reclaiming Power, Demanding Change
Survivor’s Rights in the Criminal Justice System: Reclaiming Power, Demanding Change, is a 60-minute survivor-led, trauma- and violence-informed session grounded in Carrie’s lived experience and advocacy work. It explores the gap between survivors’ rights on paper and the reality of systemic injustice, highlighting how the criminal justice system often retraumatizes rather than protects. Through personal storytelling, critical reflection on institutional failures, and a call for transformative, survivor-led change, this presentation invites advocates, educators, and community members to move beyond awareness toward action. A 30-minute interactive Q&A will follow, and attendees will receive a toolkit of post-webinar resources to support continued learning and advocacy.
Webinar: Sextortion and Deepnudes: What You Need to Know
This webinar will introduce the audience to two new online harms that are on the rise – sextortion and deepnudes. The event will explain what they are, who is most targeted, and what you can do to prevent victimization and support those who are targeted.
Have you listened to the RESOLVing Violence Podcast yet?
The province of Saskatchewan is home to a vibrant research community and hundreds of organizations and service providers working to prevent, respond to, and assist with recovery from violence and abuse.
Through this podcast, we hope to facilitate that transfer of knowledge from the research community to these applied stakeholders and people with lived experience, to make staying up to date on current research that much more accessible and efficient.
