Bilateral agreements to end gender-based violence

The Government of Canada made an investment of $539.3 million over five years as part of Budget 2022 to enable provinces and territories to supplement and enhance services and supports within their jurisdictions to prevent gender-based violence (GBV) and support survivors.

Women and Gender Equality Canada worked with provincial and territorial governments to establish bilateral agreements that support each jurisdiction's work to end gender-based violence.

These bilateral agreements are flexible in addressing each jurisdiction's respective challenges, needs, and priorities under the five pillars and foundation of the National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence, guiding the efforts to end gender-based violence from coast to coast to coast.^{Footnote 1}
