The Peel Feminist Collective’s research is a community-based initiative that examines how gender-based violence affects women of colour in the Region of Peel — and explores community-driven alternatives to systems that don’t always keep people safe.
Grounded in an intersectional feminist perspective, our research is participatory: it is shaped by, and accountable to, the community it serves. We gather lived experience alongside data to inform practical, culturally supportive practices.
What This Research Aims to Achieve
Surface community needs
Co-creating well-established, community-driven alternatives to prevent gender-based violence.
Develop community alternatives
Equipping the community with de-escalation skills, trauma-informed care, and harm reduction to foster self-governance.
A Safer Community
Educating and empowering the community to build a safer place to live — and reduce gender-based violence.
Self-Governance & Skills
Equipping the community with de-escalation skills, trauma-informed care, and harm reduction to foster self-governance.
