The Government of Saskatchewan remains committed to reducing the incidence of violence against women, as Canadians mark the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women today, December 6. Events are held each year on the anniversary of the 1989 murders of 14 female engineering students at Montreal's l'École Polytechnique.
"We all need to take some time to remember the women and girls who have died as a result of violence," Social Services Minister and Minister responsible for the Status of Women June Draude said. "We also need to think about those women and girls in our province who currently live with the reality of violence in their lives, and to encourage men and boys to actively participate in working toward the elimination of violence against women."
Between April 1, 2011 and March 31, 2012, 772 women and 983 children entered emergency shelters in Saskatchewan to escape situations of interpersonal violence and abuse.
The province is investing $9.6 million this fiscal year in 32 community-based organizations in 17 communities across Saskatchewan to support services for women and families experiencing interpersonal violence and abuse. The funding includes $5.63 million for crisis residential services, $1.24 million for enhanced residential services, $1.55 million for family violence outreach services, $1.08 million for sexual assault services and $140,000 for provincial co-ordination services that support service delivery.
"Violence against women and girls is not acceptable in any community," Justice Minister Gordon Wyant said. "By supporting a range of programs and services, we will continue working with our community partners to reduce violent crime in this province."
The Government of Saskatchewan works with other governments, police forces and community organizations to address the issue of violence against women. Examples include the Provincial Partnership Committee on Missing Persons, Inter-ministerial Committee on Interpersonal Violence and Abuse, Saskatchewan Towards Offering Partnership Solutions (STOPS) to Violence, community policing initiatives and community-based alternative measures programs.
"Women have a right to live and work without fearing for their safety," Draude said. "Let us all make a commitment today to work together to make our province the safest place to live, work and raise a family."
