‘Is it trafficking?’ Examining gender-based violence among women who do informal, precarious, non-standard work is a three-year study based in Western Canada funded by Women and Gender Equality Canada.

The objective of this evaluation is to explore issues of relevance, effectiveness, and efficiency with the intention of informing the upcoming renewal of the National Strategy.

The meeting was part of the Special Rapporteur’s official country visit to Canada, which took place from August 23 to September 6.

We were pleased that many of the issues we raised in our brief were reflected in the Special Rapporteur’s final report.
