The Government of British Columbia launched an engagement process in the Spring of 2022, to hear from partners and stakeholders involved in gender-based violence work.
The inputs will inform the development of a provincial action plan on gender-based violence. This “what we heard” report provides a summary of participant ideas and viewpoints that surfaced during the engagement dialogues. All feedback was compiled and analyzed without attribution to protect participants’ privacy and to encourage participation. The report does not provide an overall representation of public opinion, institutional policies or positions, nor that of a randomly selected population sample. Rather, this report summarizes the ideas and opinions expressed by the people who participated in these dialogues. The report will be distributed to all participants who attended the dialogues and to the dialogue sponsors in the Office of the Parliamentary Secretary for Gender Equity and the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General.
