Prairie Women’s Health Centre of Excellence provides assistance
with facilitation and support to communities and partners to understand
the health and health issues of Aboriginal women. This process helps to
provide space and time for Aboriginal women to identify research ideas
that could contribute to Aboriginal women’s physical, emotional,
mental and spiritual well-being.
Prairie Women’s Health Centre of Excellence has invested in learning
and sharing new methods to develop women’s health research through
a community-based process that draws upon the knowledge, skills and
experience of local women.
Throughout this process, PWHCE and our partners rely upon the Ethical
Guidelines adopted by the Saskatoon Aboriginal Women’s Health
Research Committee. Central to these ethical principles is the value
of respect: respect for Aboriginal communities and local leaders,
and respect for women. Part of this respect is the commitment to ensuring
that their voices are heard. Another guiding principal is the importance
of relationships with people, so that research is by and for Aboriginal
women. Good relations are built on trust, communication and shared responsibility
for decision-making.
