Injunuity Vignette

The Injunity Animated Vignette provides a social, historical, and contemporary context  to identify various factors which shape the experiences of Indigenous survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. The animated narrative begins by critically presenting the effects of colonization which set the tone for violence against tribal women. In addition, the vignette displays the challenges of navigating a flawed justice system, statistics of Indigenous survivors, and most importantly, the community’s ability to create spaces for support and healing.
