Is it trafficking?
Examining gender-based violence among women who do informal, precarious, non-standard work.
This project will document the experiences of racialized women with workplace gender-based violence in order to inform policy, services, and prevention strategies.
It will also assess if and/or the extent to which Canada’s anti-trafficking framework addresses workplace gender-based violence perpetrated against racialized women.





The work that many racialized women do is systemically unrecognized and undervalued and is the site of labour abuses, violence, exploitation, or trafficking.
Increased knowledge about work-related gender-based violence will inform and help improve the capacity of organizations and institutions at all levels in regard to prevention, policy, advocacy and further research in this area.
GAATW Canada a commencé cette recherche à l'automne 2023 et diffusera ses résultats au printemps 2026.
