Profiled Project
Access to Justice for Family Violence in Nunavut – Public Awareness Campaign (March 2021 - ongoing)
- Carnelian Management Consulting serves as the Communications Consultant on behalf of Atiigo Media Inc, the primary contractor for this initiative. Client: Pauktuutit Inuit Women of Canada and the Law Society of Nunavut
Context:
In the spring of 2019, Pauktuutit Inuit Women of Canada and the Law Society of Nunavut joined forces to undertake a project that would break the silence on family violence in Nunavut. The goal was to better understand the legal barriers and needs of Inuit women dealing with family violence.
Over the period of four months, qualitative data was gathered through 38 interviews with individual Inuit women with lived experience along with seven focus groups consisting of Inuit and non-Inuit service providers. Through these interviews and focus groups, there is a better understanding of the legal barriers and needs of Inuit women dealing with family violence in Nunavut.
This knowledge informed the development of a public awareness campaign that launched in March of 2021 and is ongoing. The public awareness campaign incorporates social media, radio, website content, video, digital and print advertising.
Coordination support is also provided to key stakeholders in delivering community events such as the community walk and reception to mark the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women and Girls. The event was held on December 6, 2021 in Iqaluit, Nunavut. It was delivered by Qulliit Nunavut Status of Women Council and the Government of Nunavut Family Services in partnership with the Law Society of Nunavut and Pauktuutit Inuit Women of Canada.
Goal for the public awareness campaign:
- To break the silence and help end family violence in Nunavut.
Objectives for the public awareness campaign:
- Deliver the message that everyone has the right to a safe and healthy life free from violence.
- Let women know what their legal options are related to dealing with family violence.
- Let women know that support is essential on the road to recovery.
- Empower Inuit women to stand up for themselves by providing information, resources and support to deal with family violence.
- Acknowledge the strength of survivors to serve as encouragement for those dealing with family violence.
- Communicate the commitment of key stakeholders to continue working together to address family violence.
