Funding Secured for Violence Protection Commission

Forty-two thousand nine hundred dollars is being allocated to the Protection Against Violence Commission from the Social Services Ministry’s next fiscal year budget, directly addressing concerns raised by Women United after they questioned whether the commission would have sufficient funding to carry out its critical work—including developing a national plan, supporting victims, and ensuring shelters meet standards. Minister Barbara Cartwright confirmed the funds are secured and revealed the commission will operate from the newly renovated VB Munnings building. Meanwhile, the ministry is renovating two safe houses to house up to twenty-four people within two to three months and plans to expand the Department of Gender and Family Affairs with additional staff—all aimed at fully implementing the Protection Against Violence Act and building a robust infrastructure to combat violence.
