Amautiit seeks confidential input on Nunavut family-violence supports

ᓇᐃᓈᕐᓗᒍ

Amautiit Nunavut Inuit Women’s Association is inviting people with lived experience of intimate-partner, domestic or family violence to complete a confidential survey about getting help through shelters, policing, evidence collection and the justice system. The survey is open online as of Sept. 14, but Amautiit has not posted a closing date, response target or timeline for reporting results. ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ

Amautiit posted the survey invitation on July 28. It says the information is intended to identify gaps in existing services and help inform future resources and tools for survivors and communities. The linked survey form remains accessible and says participation is voluntary, questions may be skipped and responses are anonymous. It asks participants to focus on their interactions with emergency-response systems, community resources and evidence-gathering processes rather than describe abuse or traumatic events. ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ

The survey offers a current way for people with lived experience to raise practical barriers in seeking safety and support. Its stated scope includes shelters, police, evidence collection and the justice system—services that can shape what happens after someone asks for help. This is a request for input, not a new service, policy, funding decision or published finding.

People considering the survey should review its privacy and device-safety information before taking part, especially if they share a device with a current or former partner. Amautiit has not stated when the survey will close, how many responses it seeks, whether results will be published, or what specific organization will use the findings. Atiilu News Desk should monitor for a closing notice, results or a resulting policy or service proposal.

Amautiit says the survey takes about 15 to 20 minutes. The form includes a device-safety warning and directs people who need immediate support to crisis and shelter resources, including the Nunavut Kamatsiaqtut Help Line and the Government of Nunavut’s Healing by Talking Program. The form is 15 pages long and begins with a consent choice. ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ
