Description:
The National Action Plan to end Gender-Based Violence, which recently received official endorsement by the Federal, Provincial, and Territorial Ministers responsible for the Status of Women, identifies a key role for economic security policy.

The findings of this synthesis report can be considered along two key dimensions
