OUR PROJECTS

YSWC currently has a number of major projects on the go. We also regularly engage with current issues in a variety of ways outside of our project work. Projects are developed on an ongoing basis to address key priorities as they emerge and capacity allows.

SUPPORTING WORKERS' AUTONOMY

The Supporting Workers' Autonomy Project Yukon (SWAPY) works for and with people who trade sex, providing a peer-led support group and engaging peers in both community and community-based research.

INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE + FAMILY LAW PROJECT

The aim of this project is to examine the intersection of IPV and family law. In doing this, we hope to increase awareness and knowledge about how these processes influence each other, and improve systemic responses for survivors of IPV in the Yukon.

REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE PROJECT

This project aims to support increased reproductive justice for all Yukoners by supporting the operational capacity of the OPAL Clinic.

GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE COMMUNITY RISK ASSESSMENT

The aim of this project is to map out the level of risk of gender-based violence (GBV) in each Yukon Community. This will inform the creation of an online risk assessment tool that has applications for how policy and decision-makers allocate resources to communities, impact assessment processes and beyond.

PAST INITIATIVES
