From the Executive Summary:

Inter-sector collaboration. This was the spirit and theme of the Aging Without Violence Provincial Forum, which was held on March 20
and 21, 2018 at the Chelsea Hotel in Downtown Toronto. Hosted by OAITH and a 13-member Advisory Committee, the Forum welcomed over 130 representatives from sectors across Ontario that provide care and services to older women. Presentations, conversations and other engagements ignited in-depth perspectives and ideas to strengthen a provincial response to gender-based violence against older women. From trailblazing speakers and audience engagement technology to facilitated group discussions, the Forum solicited expertise from a vast demographic of culture, background, and skills and lived experience. Ultimately, the Forum aimed to bring people together who share a collective goal – to end violence against older women.
