“…Au Canada, les personnes âgées de 65 ans et plus représentent 15 % de la population (Milan, 2015;van Kemenade, Bouchard et Bergeron, 2015). En 2015, on retrouvait 5,8 millions de Canadiens âgés de 65 ans et plus, dont 3,2 millions étaient des femmes, et 1,5 million de Canadiens âgés de 80 ans et plus (Hudon et Milan, 2016).…”

L’article présente une revue critique de la documentation portant sur les réalités des femmes qui avancent en âge (50 ans et plus), vivent en milieu rural franco-ontarien et sont victimes de violence conjugale, ainsi que sur les enjeux qu’elles rencontrent dans leurs parcours de sortie de violence. Après avoir défini les catégories d’âge retenues, nous montrons notamment que ces femmes sont aux prises avec des contextes sociospatiaux, géographiques et économiques spécifiques, lesquels engendrent des barrières particulières dans la sortie de la violence. De plus, la situation de minorisation vécue sur le plan sociolinguistique accroît certains de ces obstacles, tels que l’accès aux services publics et sociaux. Nous concluons en mettant en relief la dimension critique de la recension effectuée et proposons des pistes de recherche.This paper presents a critical literary review of the realities and issues faced by women aged 50 years and older who are victims of domestic violence in rural, Franco-Ontarian contexts. We demonstrate that women who reside in rural communities must face specific circumstances related to the socio-spatial, geographic and economic context, which create particular barriers for those trying to leave violent relationships. Finally, living in a minority situation, these women must face additional barriers, such as having access to public services in their mother tongue. We conclude by highlighting the critical dimension of the literary review and suggest some research avenues

Evidence suggests that language barriers present obstacles to healthcare access and quality for Francophone seniors in official language minority communities across Canada. Addressing language barriers and providing continuity is challenging, as French language services (FLSs) rely heavily on bilingual providers and the practice of active offer by all staff. This qualitative research used semi-structured group and individual interviews to explore mechanisms supporting FLS coordination and continuity in two Canadian provinces. Identification of the language variable in health records, virtual healthcare, and FLS directories are conducive to FLS continuity, but financial and resource limitations present major obstacles. Management strategies to facilitate continuity of FLS across health organizations are discussed.

It has been suggested that older adults from minority linguistic and ethnic communities face higher risks of being socially excluded. The aim of this review was, therefore, to explore and review social exclusion studies conducted among official language minority older adults in three countries, namely Canada, Finland and Wales. A rapid review approach was used to review scientific literature in line with six social exclusion domains. The literature searches were made in Finnish, Swedish, English, French and Welsh and were restricted to research published within the timeline of 2001 – September 2019 and yielded 42 articles. The included studies were categorized into three different domains: socioeconomic influences, social participation and societal conditions. Converging and diverging patterns of social exclusion in old age were identified between the linguistic minorities. Linguistic barriers regarding access to health care and receiving health information were common across the three linguistic contexts, whereas exclusion from social participation was noticed amongst the linguistic minorities in Canada and Wales. Some connections between belonging to a linguistic minority and being exposed to a lower socioeconomic status and higher poverty risk were made, however, these findings were not robust across all three countries. The findings indicated that experiences of exclusion could be considered fairly common among linguistic minority older adults. We conclude that the research evidence presented in the review sheds light on issues of social inequality in old age between linguistic majorities and minorities, thus identifying important aspects of social exclusion to guide future research as well as policy and practice.
