"The committee brings together members of the police force with advocate groups like The Status of Women Council to ensure investigations are thorough and impartial, and to identify any systemic gaps or barriers."

"It's just a question of doing it. The levels of services and protection available to women should not depend on their postal codes."

Violence against women starts early: 1⃣ in 4⃣ young women (aged 15-24 years) who have been in a relationship will have already experienced violence by an intimate partner by the time they reach their mid-twenties.

Today marks the National Day of Action for #MMIWG.

The disproportionate rate of violence against Indigenous women is a national tragedy.

The province established the Indigenous Women's Advisory Council to address this, and other issues impacting Indigenous communities.
