This revealed a tendency in the literature to focus analyses and services on victims of either trafficking in persons or migrant worker exploitation, on either Indigenous or migrant women, and either \u201csex trafficking\u201d or \u201clabour trafficking.\u201d  We believe that, by focusing on all forms of gender-based violence experienced by racialized women in all forms of informal, precarious, non-standard work, our project will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of women\u2019s needs and the various avenues that community-based organizations can take to support them \u2013 regardless of state-imposed categorizations. \r\n \r\nWe formed an advisory group to provide feedback and guidance as the project progresses. It consists of service providers and advocates from the four provinces and one territory: Jess Doward from the Yukon Status of Women Council; Raul Gatica from Dignidad Migrante in British Columbia; Carey Collins from ACT Alberta; Manuela Valle Castro, a feminist researcher in Saskatchewan; and Jonny Mexico, a consultant, advisor and activist from Manitoba.  The advisory group meets bimonthly to discuss the project\u2019s objectives and progress and other relevant developments in the sex worker and migrant worker rights and anti-trafficking fields. \r\n \r\nWe conducted 13 research interviews \u2013 nine with advocates and service providers and four with racialized women who experienced gender-based violence at work. So far these are revealing the continuum of exploitation that women experience \u2013 from being cheated about the work they would be doing in Canada, to not being paid overtime, to severe violence and control. For their part, community organizations provide a wide range of services but often struggle to meet all of their clients\u2019 needs due to understaffing, funding limitations, or administrative restrictions. \r\nIn the next six months, we plan to complete the research interviews and begin analyzing the data. \r\n \r\nIf you would like to know more about the project or contribute as a research participant (service provider or racialized woman with lived experience), please contact us.","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-850","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Research Updates | GAATW Canada<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gaatw.ca\/fr\/is-it-trafficking\/research-updates\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"fr_CA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Research Updates | GAATW Canada\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Is it trafficking?
