Welcome back to "Resolving Violence," the podcast dedicated to uncovering and understanding violence and abuse within Canadian prairie communities. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Kenda Nixon, Director of Resolve Manitoba and a professor at the University of Manitoba, who brings 25 years of dedicated experience to the table.
Dr. Nixon dives deep into Resolve Manitoba’s mission: conducting action-oriented research on gender-based violence, family violence, and violence against women. The organization aims to educate and develop strategies to reduce such violence by engaging a diverse range of stakeholders, including community practitioners, policymakers, and survivors.

Their commitment to maintaining a sustainable infrastructure ensures continued effectiveness and impactful leadership transitions.
Dr. Nixon emphasizes the importance of ongoing support and advanced training for service providers, urging decision-makers to grasp the complexities of gender-based violence. Increased support for community organizations to demonstrate effectiveness and build research capacity is crucial.
