After the Montreal Massacre on December 6, 1989, the Canadian government made a commitment to deal with public policy, education, legislation and applied research on violence against women and children. One of the initiatives was the development of 5 sister centre across Canada (New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and British Columbia) that would be centres of excellence on research and education on violence against women and more broadly gender-based violence. The Alliance represents the partnership among these centres and collaborative research & education initiatives. For more information about each centre, link onto their logos below.

L’une des initiatives a été le développement de 5 centres frères à travers le Canada (Nouveau-Brunswick, Québec, Ontario, Manitoba et Colombie-Britannique) qui seraient des centres d’excellence en matière de recherche et d’éducation sur la violence à l’égard des femmes et plus largement sur la violence sexiste. L’Alliance représente le partenariat entre ces centres et les initiatives de collaboration en matière de recherche et d’éducation.
