This study explores how histories of child maltreatment may shape the romantic relationships and well-being of middle-aged mothers of emerging adults.

Findings showed that mothers with histories of child maltreatment reported higher levels of intimate partner violence victimization and psychological distress, which were linked to lower romantic satisfaction. In particular, physical and sexual intimate partner violence, along with psychological distress, played an important role in this association.

These findings highlight the lasting impact of child maltreatment across the lifespan and underscore the importance of trauma-informed support to promote healthy relationships and well-being during middle adulthood.

Cette étude explore comment les antécédents de maltraitance dans l’enfance peuvent influencer la satisfaction conjugale et le bien-être des mères d’âge mûr ayant des enfants au début de l’âge adulte.

Les résultats montrent que les mères ayant des antécédents de maltraitance dans l’enfance rapportaient davantage de victimisation de violence conjugale et de détresse psychologique, ce qui était associé à une plus faible satisfaction conjugale. Plus précisément, la violence conjugale physique et sexuelle, ainsi que la détresse psychologique, jouaient un rôle important dans cette association.

Ces résultats soulignent les répercussions durables de la maltraitance dans l’enfance à travers le parcours de vie et l’importance d’un soutien sensible aux traumas afin de favoriser des relations saines et le bien-être au milieu de l’âge adulte.

Section 43 remains. Calls to Action remain incomplete. Calls for Justice remain unfinished.

Children’s rights, Indigenous justice, and violence prevention are connected.

On June 3, 2019, the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls released its final report, Reclaiming Power and Place, along with 231 Calls for Justice.

The report laid bare the ongoing violence experienced by Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people across Canada, while also highlighting the strength, leadership, and resilience of survivors, families, and communities who carried these truths forward.

More than five years later, families, advocates, and communities continue to call for urgent action and accountability. The Calls for Justice are not recommendations, they are legal and moral imperatives rooted in human rights, Indigenous rights, and the lived realities of those impacted by violence.

At the Moose Hide Campaign, we believe ending gender-based violence requires all of us to listen, learn, reflect, and take meaningful action in our communities. This work must continue beyond moments of recognition and remain grounded in respect, responsibility, and care.

We encourage everyone to take time to read the report, learn the Calls for Justice, and support the ongoing work being led by Indigenous families, survivors, and communities.

We're thrilled to share a companion zine to our Safety Together report, featuring art by parents and youth!

The zine shares key takeaways and insights on the intersections of gender-based violence and family policing.

In pushing for system transformation, the zine and report anchored the calls to action in decolonial, anti-racist, and anti-carceral frameworks. These calls to action advocate for bold shifts—away from family policing and towards family well-being.

Join us in this transformative work: spend time with the art and stories, take up the calls to action, and share the zine widely! https://westcoastleaf.org/work/safety-together-addressing-gender-based-violence-and-the-family-policing-system/
