Shelters for victims of abuse with ties to Indigenous communities or organizations in Canada, 2020/2021 / by Ashley Maxwell.: CS85-002/42-14E-PDF

"Using data from the Survey of Residential Facilities for Victims of Abuse (SRFVA), this Juristat article primarily focuses on presenting information on shelters for victims of abuse that had ties to First Nations, Métis or Inuit communities or organizations in Canada during 2020/2021 (see Text box 1). The SRFVA collects information on all shelters in Canada that are primarily mandated to serve victims of abuse (see Survey description). This article examines the characteristics of Indigenous shelters in Canada, such as the number of annual admissions and the types of services provided to the clients they serve. Additional information will also be presented about the individuals who are accessing these shelters for reasons of abuse. The SRFVA reports this information based on two distinct time periods. Data relating to the characteristics of shelters are based on a 12-month reference period that preceded the collection of the survey data (2020/2021). In addition, information related to individual residents is based on the snapshot date of April 14, 2021.3 Throughout the article, comparisons will be made between Indigenous and non-Indigenous shelters"--Page 5.
