A report of a study on violence to Aboriginal women in Canada, based on the 2009 General Social Survey (GSS) on Victimization. Found that nearly 67,000, or 13% of Aboriginal women aged 15 or older who lived in the provinces, self-reported they had been the victim of one or more violent crimes in the 12 months prior to the survey. Violent crimes measured by the GSS include sexual assault, robbery and physical assault. The proportion of Aboriginal women who reported spousal violence by a current or former spouse was about two and a half times higher than the proportion of non-Aboriginal women.

The Northwest Métis Women’s Health Research Project investigated the health care needs of elderly women and their caregivers in the Métis community of Buffalo Narrows, Saskatchewan. The research project looked at access to home care and longterm care services for elderly women in the particular demographic, social, cultural and economic context of northern Métis communities. The goal of the project was to recommend appropriate home care and long term care policies for northern Métis communities and to ensure that these policies will be responsive to women’s needs as care recipients, care providers and caregivers. By looking at the specific needs of women, the research project hoped to raise awareness of gender as an important factor to consider in developing and implementing policies related to care of the elderly.
