National Action Plan to End Gender-based Violence in Yukon
Living a life free from violence is a fundamental human right, unfortunately gender-based violence (GBV) continues to be a significant barrier to achieving gender equality in Canada.

Description
Living a life free from violence is a fundamental human right, unfortunately gender-based violence (GBV) continues to be a significant barrier to achieving gender equality in Canada. It is one of the most pervasive, deadly, and deeply rooted human rights violations of our time that affects people of all backgrounds, genders, and ages.
The Government of Yukon will collaborate with partners and organizations across the province to improve services to victims and survivors of gender-based violence, as well as to their families. There will also be a focus on prevention initiatives that can help address the root causes of GBV and stop violence before it occurs. The investment will also support Indigenous organizations to build capacity and deliver culturally relevant supports. And, it will support the implementation of the territory’s Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two Spirit+ Strategy.
