The Enabling Accessibility Project is a two-year program based in HRM, focused on assessing the needs of racialized, im/migrant women with disabilities, who may be experiencing Gender Based Violence (GBV).

Our project intends to support the recommendations made in the report produced by the ‘Not Without Us’ Government Response Committee, which sought to identify, remove & prevent barriers for disabled women in Nova Scotia. They recommended similar research be explored in the im/migrant community.

The project seeks to achieve its goals through the design and implementation of an emerging promising practice that utilizes:

• Long Term Educational Programming

• Therapeutic Art Making and Creative Programming

Our educational and art making practices will be premised on:

• Mutual Exchange

• Relationship Building

• Providing a safe space

• Providing support to participants
