abstract="Trauma- and violence-informed physical activity (TVIPA) is a feasible approach to improve access/engagement in physical activity for pregnant/parenting women with experiences of trauma. Through feminist participatory action research, 56 semistructured interviews were completed to understand TVIPA. Four themes were identified: (1) &quot;I have to be on edge&quot;: Trauma and violence pervade women's lives, (2) &quot;It should be mandatory that you feel safe&quot;: Emotional safety is essential, (3) &quot;The opportunity to step up and be decision-makers and leaders&quot;: Choice, collaboration, and connection create safety, and (4) &quot;It's a good start for healing,&quot; strengths-based and capacity building foster individual and community growth.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
