Saskatchewan residents are joining with all Canadians today to mark the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. Events are held across the country every December 6, to mark the anniversary of the 1989 murders of 14 female engineering students at Montreal's l'École Polytechnique.
“Violence against women and girls has no place in our society,” Social Services Minister and Minister responsible for the Status of Women June Draude said. “We need to work with our community partners across the province to tackle this issue headon. Saskatchewan women and girls deserve to live their lives without having to fear for their safety.”
The Government of Saskatchewan is investing $28 million this fiscal year in 81 agencies supporting women a risk of violence and $11.8 million in 57 programs delivered by 45 agencies across Saskatchewan to support sexual assault programs and services offered to women and families experiencing interpersonal violence and abuse. The funding includes support for a new transition house in Melfort, and for expanded services at transition houses in Regina and Prince Albert.
“We will continue to work with our government and community partners to provide support services to women and their families,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant said. “Violence against women and girls affects all of us and we are committed to finding ways to address this important issue.”
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.
Draude distributed white ribbons to her Cabinet colleagues and all MLAs in the Legislature earlier this week. The white ribbons are a symbol of the wearer’s commitment to ending violence against women and girls.
“We have a vision of Saskatchewan as the safest place to live, work and raise a family,” Draude said. “To achieve that vision, all of us, including men and boys, need to work together to end violence against women and girls in our province.”
