ECCQ WEN group successfully delivered its 2nd workshop in the workshop series on Domestic Violence.

The Title of the workshop being: Family Law and Service Providers Orientation.

The Workshop was well attended by interested women who wanted to know what services are currently out there in the area of domestic violence.

Representatives from

• Home affairs department,

• Challenge DV,

• Center Against Sexual Violence,

• and Women’s Legal Services gave an insightful presentation and a panel discussion on various topics related to Family Law and Domestic Violence.

The goal of this workshop was to educate community leaders on how to respond to Domestic Violence, including coercive control and be familiar with the laws and serivces being offered to the multicultural community.

The workshop gave community leaders an understanding of the rights of the victim in a domestic violence situation.

We also discussed issues such as how to approach the service providers? What funding, financial help is out there for women who are in a Domestic Violence situation?

How effective is the strategy to involve men in advocacy?

The WEN Leadership team plans to create short video of the workshop which will be shared on the ECCQ youtube soon.
