Amautiit seeks survivor input on access to shelters, policing and justice services
Amautiit Nunavut Inuit Women’s Association is inviting people with lived experience of intimate-partner, domestic or family violence to complete an online survey about navigating supports, shelters, policing, evidence collection and the justice system. The July 28 call does not list a closing date; the linked form remained accessible on Sept. 3. Source↗
What happened
Amautiit posted the survey call on July 28, 2026. The association says responses are intended to identify service gaps and inform future resources and tools. The linked 15-page Google form says participation is voluntary, questions can be skipped and it seeks information about interactions with systems and logistics rather than descriptions of traumatic events.

Why it matters
The survey offers a direct route for people with lived experience to inform Amautiit’s future advocacy or service-development work on safety and justice-system access. It is a consultation tool, not a new shelter, justice program, funding decision or government policy.
What happens next
Interested participants can use the survey link in Amautiit’s July 28 post. Amautiit has not published a deadline, results timeline, participant eligibility limits, data-retention details or a public contact for survey questions. Those details should be confirmed with the association before any follow-up story on findings or policy action.
Important details
Amautiit describes the survey as confidential; the linked form describes responses as anonymous and warns people using a shared device to clear browser history or use a private-browsing window. It states that questions may be skipped. The form lists the Kamatsiaqtut Help Line at 1-867-979-3333 or 1-800-265-3333 and the Government of Nunavut Healing by Talking Program at 1-888-648-0070.
