the annual Prevention of Violence against Women Week in BC
Estimates indicate that one in three women have been subject to either physical and/or sexual violence mostly by an intimate partner in their lifetime. Since the start of COVID-19, incidents of domestic violence and femicides have significantly increased. This year so far, 47 women and girls have been killed by violence within Canada. This is highest it has been within the same period in the previous three years.
