The development of the “Bill 173 – The Current State of Intimate Partner Violence in Ontario” resource package has been a collaborative effort with our members and community partners. Their contributions have been instrumental in gathering a comprehensive collection of research and evidence-based recommendations from experts, community organizations, and academics on the current state of intimate partner violence (IPV). This collaboration reflects our collective specialized knowledge in this field.
Through extensive engagement, we have ensured that the resources included in this package comprehensively acknowledge existing efforts and evidence-based research. These resources address the genuine needs and evolving realities of women and gender-diverse people facing violence in Ontario.
We gratefully acknowledge the generous contributions of our members and our partners in the violence against women sector. Representing a wide range of sectors, populations, and areas of expertise, their support has been crucial in validating the combined research and advocacy efforts behind this bill.
