Immediate injection of funds to help women who have experience violence

Community organizations working to prevent and respond to violence against women and children will receive immediate one-time funding of 5 million dollars from the province.
Tracy Porteous, executive director of the Ending Violence Association of B.C. says there’s been plenty of media attention related to the treatment of women over the last several years, from a woman being pummelled in an elevator by her NFL player boyfriend to the most recent “me too” campaign…..
Victim service and violence-against-women programs throughout the province will share 4 million dollars, 800,000 dollars will support inter-agency case assessment teams of police officers, victim service workers, transition house service providers and others who provide victim safety in high-risk domestic violence cases.
The remaining 200,000 will be used to enhance education and prevention programs.
