RESOLVE Saskatchewan is part of RESOLVE, a prairie-based research network that co-ordinates and supports research aimed at ending violence, especially violence involving girls and women. Funded by PrairieAction Foundation, RESOLVE creates partnerships among service agencies, government departments and universities across the prairie provinces, with offices in Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
The goal of RESOLVE is to reduce the incidence and impact of violence and abuse by:
1. Creating and evaluating strategies to address violence and abuse;
2. Communicating our research results to the public and policy makers;
3. Promoting education, awareness, and social change.
To accomplish this we:
1. Work with community groups to identify areas where additional research needs to be done;
2. Develop action-oriented research projects;
3. Work in interdisciplinary teams in partnership with community groups and other universities and centres in Canada;
4. Train students and members of the community organization in research methods.
RESOLVE is committed to supporting research that leads to positive results. Our work seeks to uncover the causes of violence and map out effective strategies to prevent and alleviate that violence. RESOLVE is one of five research centres on family violence and violence against women that the federal government established in 1992, following the 1989 murder of 14 women at École Polytechnique in Montreal. The five centres have formed an alliance creating a national voice on the issue of family violence and undertaking national studies. Our initial focus was on the victimization of girls and women. However, this agenda has broadened over time in response to our growing understanding of violence in our society, without losing sight of the heightened risks faced by women and girls.
