Abstract

violence against women is a persistent and ongoing problem in Canada and around the world. It affects women's social and economic equality, physical and mental health, well-being and economic security. The effects of domestic violence are well-known, and many steps have been taken to minimize the effects of such violence for the women that fall victim to it. However there seems to be a trend in the various literature on the subject, a trend that seems to leave out one of the most prevalent groups when it comes to violence against women, and that is violence against aboriginal women. This begs the question, why is it that in the majority of the discussion on violence against women, aboriginal women are neglected, as they are rarely mentioned in discussions of the issue. In this research proposal, we will look more at depth into this research question, by examining the literature that surrounds this subject, and from this we will attempt to determine what the barriers are for aboriginal women in the sense.
