摘要:Many women experience both sexual and domestic violence throughout their lifespan, but do the services of women’s shelters and sexual assault centres reflect this reality? Stemming from a joint recommendation, this research project was conducted in partnership by the Alberta Association of Sexual Assault Centres and the Alberta Council of Women’s Shelters. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 24 service providers representing 19 Alberta women’s shelters and sexual assault centres. The purpose of the study was to identify areas in which the needs of clients intersect or where they dictate distinct and specialized service delivery and to make recommendations regarding potential collaboration.
