Beyond violence: Building equity and safety in Canada's industrial energy resource work camps

This research study explores the relationship between industrial work camps and sexualized violence in Canada. Based on qualitative interviews with individuals working in these environments and subject matter experts, it aims to shed light on the challenges faced by women in industrial work camps and provide recommendations for effective mitigation measures. This study strives to contribute to systemic change in these environments by addressing gaps in safety and equity. The study also aims to inform policymakers, industry leaders, and workers on practical ways to enhance safety and well-being in these work camps. • Uncovered barriers to reporting harassment: Including fear, poor anonymity, and weak policy enforcement. • Identified lack of regulatory oversight and accountability: Highlighting insifficient regulation. • Proposed industry-sprecific solutions like training, anonymous reporting, and safer camp design.
