Gender-Based Violence
Gender based violence (GBV) is on the rise and needs to be treated as a public health crisis. The federal government has an important role to play in preventing GBV while supporting survivors and their communities. Governments allocate resources and develop laws that can prevent and address the causes and consequences of GBV.
To date, the government of Nova Scotia and 99 municipalities across Ontario have declared intimate partner violence an epidemic. It’s time for the federal government to do the same.
