Petition to the Minister of Justice
- Rates of intimate partner violence in Canada have risen during the pandemic by up to 30%;
- A woman is killed by her intimate partner approximately every 6 days in Canada;
- The current understanding of intimate partner violence and domestic violence needs to be changed to include coercive and controlling behaviour to fully reflect the many shapes that violence takes; and
- Police and the justice system lack adequate tools to effectively intervene in situations of coercive and controlling behaviour because they are not captured in current criminal law.
