Women and Gender Equality Canada is pleased to share that today, the Federal-Provincial-Territorial (FPT) Forum of Ministers responsible for the Status of Women announced their endorsement of the National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence (GBV). The endorsement of the 10-year National Action Plan to End GBV is a concrete step fulfilling a long-standing commitment by FPT governments to work together towards a Canada free of GBV; a Canada that supports victims/survivors and their families no matter where they live.
The National Action Plan was made possible through years of engagement with you and your teams – the GBV organizations, victims/survivors, front-line service providers, GBV experts, academics, and advocates. With your continued support, the FPT governments will implement the National Action Plan in a way that responds to the evolving needs and emerging issues for those impacted by GBV.
