We work in partnership to ensure women have access to and control over their own economic resources. We focus on four strategic priorities: public education and awareness-raising; mental health and wellness; ensuring systems do not inadvertently facilitate economic abuse; and influencing policy. Our aim now is to ensure that Canadian private and public sector policies and practices recognize economic abuse, so that victim-survivors are supported to achieve economic justice, and abusers are held accountable for their behaviours.
The newly established Canadian Institute for Research on Economic Justice (CIREJ) generates research to inform national policies, enhance survivor services, and build grassroots research capacity. We are seeking a visionary Director of Research to lead a nationwide initiative funded by the Government of Canada in collaboration with our multidisciplinary team. Please send your CV, cover letter, and two writing samples (e.g., research brief, academic article, or knowledge product) to [email protected] by September 30th.
