Gender-based violence (GBV) is a human rights violation and an issue of gender inequality, with 35% of women globally experiencing GBV. Mothers who experience GBV are a unique population, with vast implications on their health. Artmaking can reduce these health effects due to the self-expression, emotional healing, empowerment, and social change which often occur. The purpose of this study was to understand the process of independently creating a visual art form for mothers in Ontario, Canada, with histories of GBV, as a reflection of their experience of GBV. An arts-based interpretive descriptive study informed by intersectionality was conducted with 13 mothers from Ontario with histories of GBV utilizing semistructured interviews. Two themes emerged: (1) creative processes and (2) storytelling experiences of GBV through art. The findings from this study highlight the process of art creation among mothers from Ontario who have experienced GBV. However, further exploration surrounding artmaking among mothers with histories of GBV in Canada is warranted.
基于性别的暴力（GBV）是对人权的侵犯，也是性别不平等问题，全球35%的女性遭受过GBV。遭受GBV的母亲是一个独特的群体，对她们的健康有深远影响。艺术创作可以减轻这些健康影响，因为它常常带来自我表达、情感治愈、赋权和社会变革。本研究的目的是了解加拿大安大略省有GBV经历的母亲独立创作视觉艺术形式的过程，以此反映她们的GBV经历。采用基于艺术的解释性描述性研究，以交叉性理论为指导，对13位来自安大略省且有GBV经历的母亲进行了半结构化访谈。出现了两个主题：（1）创作过程；（2）通过艺术讲述GBV经历。本研究结果突出了安大略省有GBV经历的母亲的艺术创作过程。然而，加拿大有GBV经历的母亲群体中的艺术创作仍需进一步探索。
