MMFC
Muriel McQueen Fergusson Centre for Family Violence Research
Add to list
The creation of the MMFC began in 1985 with the establishment of the Fergusson Foundation, a charitable organization. Members of the foundation worked to raised funds towards protective services for survivors of family violence. This made clear the need for a preventative approach to family violence. The idea for a research centre dedicated to collaborative action-oriented research of family violence and violence against women and children emerged out of this necessity.
