Preventing Domestic Homicides in Atlantic Canada - Looking back to see our way forward

GV21921

$160,000.00

Apr 1, 2022 - Aug 31, 2025

Through this 41-month project, the NB Women’s Equality Branch, in collaboration with the Atlantic Domestic Homicide Network (ADHRN), will partner with the Canadian Femicide Observatory for Justice and Accountability to examine domestic homicide data and trends in the Atlantic provinces over a 10-year retrospective period. This will increase knowledge of gender-based violence (GBV) and will generate evidence to help strengthen the GBV sector across the region. It is expected that by identifying gaps in data collection and investigations processes, gaps in GBV service provisions will also be collected. Recommendations will then be made to all four provincial government in Atlantic Canada in regard to enhanced data collection processes and investigations of domestic homicides, as well as to address these gaps by making systemic improvements.

Gender-Based Violence Program

The purpose of the GBV Program is to strengthen the GBV sector to address gaps in supports for two groups of survivors: 1) Indigenous women and their communities, and 2) underserved populations (including women living with a disability, non-status/refugee /immigrant women, LGBTQ2S, gender non-conforming people and ethno-cultural women) in Canada. The Program provides grant and contribution funding to Canadian organizations to improve supports to help create long-term, comprehensive solutions at the national, regional, and local levels.
