Objective
On September 21, 2023, the HIV Legal Network hosted the “Violence Against Women (VAW) Shelter Harm Reduction Roundtable” in Toronto, Ontario.

Their goal was to learn from these services, which are engaged in low-barrier, harm reduction practices.

There is a summary and full report in which best and promising practices are shared to promote shelter accessibility to all women and gender-diverse individuals fleeing violence, including those who use drugs across Canada.
