💰 Economic Toll:
Billions are spent annually by Canada’s federal, provincial, and territorial governments on healthcare, justice, and social system responses to GBV. Millions are lost by businesses in productivity as survivors face challenges in maintaining work due to the impacts of violence.
👩⚕️ Personal Impact:
Those experiencing GBV face significant direct and indirect costs, including lost opportunities, long-term emotional and physical harm, and intergenerational trauma affecting families for years to come.
🌍 Importance of Action:
Ending GBV requires collective efforts to address root causes, push for systemic change, and support survivors to ensure safer and healthier communities for everyone.
