What women need to reduce violence

NUNATSIAQ NEWS

Eighteen Nunavut women surveyed by Nunavut's status of women council are recommending the following:

  • more public recognition of violence against women;
  • contemporary training for elders who offer support to women in crisis;
  • stronger sentences for men accused of violent crimes against women;
  • housing for women who leave abusive relationships;
  • safe places where women can meet for formal or informal support;
  • and childcare to give women time to meet.
