Domestic abuse and gender-based violence platforms

Here's what the 2024 Nova Scotia election parties are promising.
We don't have any PC policies on Domestic abuse and gender-based violence.

Liberal

  • Create an office in the Department of Health to take a public health approach towards preventing intimate partner violence

    "A Nova Scotia Liberal government will expand initiatives detailed by the Mass Casualty Commission to put a stop to the epidemic of intimate partner violence. We’ll create an office in the Department of Health to work closely with groups across the province to take a public health approach towards preventing intimate partner violence." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09

  • Replace the $4M the federal government used to provided to women's shelters

    "We’ll begin by directly replacing the approximately $4M that the federal government is no longer providing to women’s shelters in Nova Scotia. This is money that saves lives and provides housing and opportunities to women and children fleeing domestic violence. We have a moral obligation to restore that funding." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09

NDP

  • Fund organisations that fight intimate partner violence
  • Ensure access to trauma-informed counselling for all survivors of sexualised violence
