Pauktuutit undertook this two year project to provide Inuit women with resources that promote leadership and personal wellness as tools to address family violence. This project also facilitated knowledge exchange and communication between elders and youth to develop a shared leadership role in the reduction of all forms of abuse and family violence in their communities. Through on-the-land workshops and youth and elder workshops, Pauktuutit was able to create two models to help communities create safe environments for women and girls to participate in healing and leadership opportunities.
