Access to justice for Indigenous adult victims of sexual assault / Patricia Barkaskas and Sarah Hunt, for the Department of Justice.: J2-484/2017E-PDF
"The purpose of this report is to critically engage with diverse approaches to access to justice for Indigenous adult survivors of sexual assault in the context of ongoing colonization and Indigenous-led efforts to end violence. The report seeks to bring grassroots community voices, and others outside the formal justice system, into conversation with existing literature on Indigenous peoples' experiences of sexual assault to foster connections and inform future directions. Additionally, the report seeks to provide a framework of analysis for understanding access to justice for Indigenous adult survivors of sexual assault using a de-colonial trauma-informed framework, in order to redefine 'justice' and 'sexual assault' to reflect the diverse realities of all Indigenous people, including those who are marginalized or absent in the formal literature"--Executive summary, p. 3.
