Resources
Links to learning tools and to organizations that are leading, or doing exceptional advocacy work, in women's human rights and gender justice – regionally, nationally and internationally.
We know this list is not complete. We welcome the opportunity to collaborate with, and learn from, more organizations, in particular feminists advocating for those most impacted by gender-based violence (Indigenous women and girls, women of colour, and 2SLGBTQQiA folks).
We welcome new information and additions to this list. Please, get in touch with us at any time!
Yukon Resources
We've included a short list of Yukon resources and allies – which we hope will be helpful if you are new to the Yukon or new to working in the gender-based violence sector in the Territory.
Note: "Surviving in the Yukon", is a downloadable booklet of free and low-cost goods and services in Yukon published and revised by YAPC* every few years. This booklet provides an exhaustive list of front line services.
Find out about Yukon First Nations – this page provides links to all Yukon First Nations and Transboundary groups.
