According to Conference Alerts, “The Second International Conference on Violence Against Women” organized by CRI-VIFF will offer an opportunity for dialogue, reflection, and debate on topics in three main categories: theoretical models, violences, and social responses.” The conference will be held from May 29th until June 1st of 2011 in Montreal, Quebec in Canada.

The CRI-VIFF is a unique partnership experience between universities, communities and institutions. All of CRI-VIFF activities are carried out via close collaborations between academics and community services. Currently, 49 researchers, 35 community services or program and policy making organizations are brought together in three research teams. In this perspective, the CRI-VIFF’s functional structure is based on parity between academics and partners (community, autonomous and institutional services). Administratively, CRI-VIFF is linked to Université Laval and Université de Montréal.
