An Evaluation of īkwēskīcik iskwēwak
īkwēskīcik iskwēwak is a program designed to support women in SK who are repeatedly incarcerated for low-level offences. Women with repeated criminal justice system involvement are offered up to 18 months of support to address their unique and often complex needs by building supportive transitional pathways to improve their community reintegration. The program is funded by the Saskatchewan Ministries of Corrections, Policing and Public Safety (CPPS), Justice and Attorney General, and Health and delivered by the Saskatoon Tribal Council.
