Violence against women in Canada

67% of Canadians personally know a woman who has been physically or sexually abused

Approximately every six days , a woman in Canada is killed by her current or former partner.

Every year, up to 360,000 children in Canada witness domestic violence.

FACTSRight now, more than 6,000 women and their children are staying in shelters because it’s not safe for them to be at home.

Canadian Women’s Foundation annual campaign to end violence against

women Canadian Women’s Foundation is Canada’s only national

foundation for giving women and girls a chance for a better life

We empower women and girls to move out of poverty, out of violence and into confidence
