Break the Silence, Be the Change
Eskasoni is located on Cape Breton Island, within the Unama鈥檊i district of Mi鈥檏maq territory (Nova Scotia, Atlantic Canada). The community is the largest Aboriginal community in Atlantic Canada. Young people in the community have been engaging with the topic of sexual and gender-based violence, and what it looks like in Eskasoni since 2016, as a field site for Networks for change.

They worked with staff at Eskasoni Mental Health Services and an academic researcher to better understand how sexual violence is experienced by young women in the community and what can be done about it. The project highlights that men and boys can be part of the solution:
"Our work complements that of nine young women from our community who are also researching these issues".
