Scoping Review- Aboriginal Women, Domestic Violence, and Homelessness

Several studies have documented the high risk of housing instability and homelessness for women as a result of domestic violence and the broader issue of violence against women. Aboriginal women have been identified as being more vulnerable due to unique barriers to achieving housing stability, including racism and the lack of culturally appropriate services. This project is a scoping review of academic literature, grey literature and other forms of knowledge recognized by Indigenous communities to identify recommendations for policy and practice in the area of housing, homelessness and violence against Aboriginal women, including domestic violence
