Opposition health critic says strategy lacks specifics
The government of P.E.I. says it’s taking important steps to prevent and respond to sexual violence, with the launch of a “first of its kind” strategy.
The five-year strategy focuses on three priority areas, according to the province: preventing sexual violence, responding to sexual violence, and co-ordinating responses.
“We are hoping to create a culture of care in which every member of our society understands their role in preventing sexual violence while ensuring that survivors, perpetrators and communities are met with a co-ordinated and trauma-informed system of support services that acknowledges their individual needs,” said the province in an emailed statement.
