The Canadian Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse and advisory partners have developed the Wildflower framework for professionals in any sector who provide services to older women and gender-diverse people. Equity-oriented care (EOC) is a Canadian best practice that has set the foundation for the project materials. Thank you to Dr. Nadine Wathen for her careful review and input into the materials. The Wildflower materials have been developed to add to the growing list of EOC research and resources to bring a focus on the experience of older women who have experienced, and/or who are experiencing GBV.
The project partners share a common goal to learn from, and to support older women who have experienced GBV regardless of where they live or seek services.
Project funding was generously provided by Women and Gender Equality. The project originally titled STOP GBV55+: Stopping Gender Based Violence in Women 55+ Through Promising Practices was funded to help address GBV at the intersection of ageism and sexism.
