Joint statement on the release of the national action plan to end gender-based violence.
As advocates who developed a Roadmap for the National Action Plan on Gender-Based Violence, we have been anxiously waiting for the release of this 10-year plan. This statement is our joint reaction to the federal government’s release on November 9, 2022, of its long-awaited National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence, which comes nearly two years after the 2021 Joint Declaration for a Canada Free of GBV. We are happy to see that all provinces and territories are committed to realizing the vision of the National Action Plan (NAP).
Annual Report 2022
2021 was a year of unprecedented growth for Rise. Last year we continued to adapt to the COVID pandemic and the exacerbated gender-based violence experienced by many of our clients. Our team worked alongside community partners around British Columbia and with many organisations in the lower mainland to expand access to legal services.
