1. Our government is launching a three-year plan to strengthen our collective approach to addressing domestic violence in British Columbia. The plan was developed through consultations with the public and anti-violence stakeholders.

2. Over the next three years, a $5.5 million Provincial Domestic Violence Plan will deliver on our commitment to make B.C. a safer place for women, children and anyone who has been affected by domestic violence.

3. The plan focuses on reducing domestic violence in B.C. by providing an integrated and coordinated response to domestic violence in B.C through enhanced information sharing between all service providers, creation of specialized domestic violence units and improving direct services for those affected by domestic violence.
