The health of women has largely been overlooked, with gender-based health disparities increasingly being identified as a critical research gap. These disparities are worse when women experience violence in their relationships, a reality for more than a 40% of Canadian women. The main goal of my research is to reduce this gap through answering the overarching question “how do we improve the health and well-being of women exposed to violence?”.
