  • Summary

  • This bilingual series of podcasts features primarily educational narratives that deal with the different forms of family / domestic / conjugal / intimate partner violence mostly against women, but can also apply to males and two-spirited folks who can use some help in determining whether what they are experiencing is indeed violence, in any form.

    Upcoming episodes for Season 2 will include :

    1) One Indigenous woman's sharing of her personal story of trauma, resilience, and perseverance in the face of intense psychological abuse.

    2) a summary of the National Inquiry on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls (MMIWG) and the organization set up to help families and friends cope and deal with the loss of a loved one

    3) An update / summary as to what is being done to confront the issue of MMIWG in a national Indigenous Summit held over three days in Oct. 2023 by the National Indigenous Action Group established to do what needs to be done against this genocide

    4) An update about Bill S-3 - amendments to the Indian Act recognizing the membership of those who previously lost their federally-recognized separate legal status through marriage with non-Indigenous partners.

    5) An update / summary on Quebec's Viens Commission that "was established to determine the underlying causes of all forms of violence, discrimination, or differential treatment concerning Indigenous women and men" in the province of Quebec.

    6) Promising practices for preventing violence

    7) The last episode will consist of a discussion of what colonization has meant for Indigenous peoples in Quebec and the issues and challenges that it presented.

    S’extraire de l’emprise de la violence conjugale : reprendre le pouvoir sur sa vie
    Jan 24 2024

    Dans cet épisode, je discuterai de la façon dont vous pouvez reprendre le contrôle de votre vie si vous êtes victime de violence de la part d'un partenaire intime. Ces stratégies peuvent vous être très utiles pour savoir ce qui se passe exactement lorsque vous vous retrouvez dans un tourbillon d'événements et de manipulations, et lorsque vous avez l'impression ou la conviction de n'avoir que peu ou pas de contrôle sur ce qui se passe dans votre vie.
