More Support for Women Fleeing Domestic Violence

We know that Nova Scotia is facing a domestic violence epidemic, and more needs to be done to ensure that those fleeing domestic violence have a safe place to stay. We’ll work with non-profit organizations to ensure they have the resources they need to continue to staff their shelters, especially considering the increased pressure of the cost of living crisis.

We’ll begin by directly replacing the approximately $4M that the federal government is no longer providing to women’s shelters in Nova Scotia. This is money that saves lives and provides housing and opportunities to women and children fleeing domestic violence. We have a moral obligation to restore that funding.

Cost estimate: Total cost: $4M/year
