One of the things we see is that gender-based violence touches members of all communities regardless of how new one is to Canada or how long one has been here. It's important to keep in mind how different systems of oppression work within this country and how they influence the likelihood that a person may experience gender-based violence as well as their response to it and the services that are available to them.
One thing I'll say that definitely speaks to the experience of folks who are new to the country, and also when we're talking about Black and indigenous folks in particular, is the way that the current default police and carceral response to gender-based violence often does not work. These may not be institutions that they feel they can engage with so there is a need to broaden the options and responses available to these community members especially.
