Amautiit invites survivors to report barriers in accessing violence-response services
Amautiit Nunavut Inuit Women’s Association is seeking confidential survey responses from people with experience of intimate partner, domestic or family violence. The survey asks about accessing shelters, policing, evidence collection and the justice system, and says the results will be used to identify service gaps and develop future resources.
What happened
Amautiit posted the survey on July 28, 2026. Its linked 15-page form says participation is voluntary, questions may be skipped, and respondents are not asked to describe abuse or traumatic events; it focuses on their interactions with emergency responses, community resources and evidence-gathering systems. The form advises people using a shared device to consider browser-history and private-browsing precautions. Sourceamautiit.ca↗ Sourcedocs.google.com↗
Why it matters
The request could provide survivor-informed evidence about practical barriers to safety and justice services. It is a consultation and information-gathering exercise, not a government policy decision, funding announcement or confirmed service change.
What happens next
Amautiit has not published a survey closing date, a timetable for releasing findings, or a commitment from a government or service provider to act on the results. The form lists the Kamatsiaqtut Help Line at 1-867-979-3333 or 1-800-265-3333, and the Government of Nunavut’s Healing by Talking Program at 1-888-648-0070 for Nunavut support.
Important details
The survey is open to individuals who have experienced intimate partner violence, domestic violence or family violence. Amautiit says it takes about 15–20 minutes. The linked form describes responses as anonymous, while the announcement describes them as confidential; Atiilu has not independently audited the form’s data handling or privacy protections.
