We come together to remind everyone of the importance of Canada’s National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women on December 6. Considering the meaning of the day, which serves as a call to action in empowering survivors and preventing and reducing gender-based violence (GBV), we want to take a moment to recognize the important research being conducted at Dr. Paula Barata’s Supporting Survivors and Gender Equity Lab (SSAGE Lab). Paula is a professor in the Department of Psychology and the Associate Dean, Academic (ADA), of the College of Social and Applied Human Sciences (CSAHS). She has been engaged in research related to ameliorating violence against women for over 20 years.
