AVA is about creating the capacity to transform population health/social services promoting health/wellness of girls, women, and gender-diverse people (GWGDP) at risk/affected by violence and adversity over the life-cycle. A collaborative, innovative, cross-sectoral/disciplinary/jurisdictional training platform and Women’s and Girls’ Health Hub (WGHH), two Indigenous WGHH and a research initiative, united in the common objective to address the urgent issue of gender-based violence and improve outcomes for GWGDP. For nearly 30 years, preventing and addressing violence against girls and women has been a policy priority across Canada, yet social problem persists with family violence rates increasing and GWGDP’s health/wellness outcomes worsening.
