On June 24, Unifor held an Intimate Partner Violence Symposium at the Unifor site in New Westminster. Delegates spent the day in a workshop and gathering resources for victims and survivors.
Information was given on stats of intimate partner violence, the treatment of victims and survivors in BC, and actions being taken by the province. There was also a guest speaker who is a survivor and author who gave a heart wrenching presentation.
To see the review on how the province is handling IPV please visit https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/law-crime-and-justice/about-bc-justice-system/justice-reform-initiatives/systemic-review/stanton_report_fall_2025_update.pdf
Intimate Partner Violence can appear in many forms, such as (but not limited to):
- Physical abuse
- Mental abuse
- Financial abuse
- Sexual abuse
- Stalking
- Controlling behaviour
