Breaking the Cycle — Reducing Domestic Violence in Our Communities
Manage episode 522881618 series 3617550
Intimate partner violence is a crisis that affects every community — a form of harm that happens behind closed doors, where trust should exist but fear and control often take hold.
In Canada, more than 117,000 people reported experiencing intimate partner violence in a single year — the vast majority women and girls. In Niagara, 86% of victims are female, and the numbers are rising.
In this episode, host Walter Sendzik speaks with Nicole Regehr from Gillian’s Place about what it will take — locally, provincially, and nationally — to reduce domestic and intimate partner violence. Together, they explore what’s working, what isn’t, and what must change to make our communities safer for everyone.
