In an inspiring move, the Government of Saskatchewan has dedicated nearly $5.2 million to combat gender-based violence through the Ministry of Justice and Attorney General. This funding is part of the National Action Plan (NAP) to End Gender-based Violence, focusing on making our communities safer and more resilient.

Justice Minister Tim McLeod emphasizes, “The agencies involved are not just adapting; they're innovating with tools and programs to fight gender violence head-on.” This collaboration is crucial as it empowers local organizations to bring about lasting change.

With initiatives spanning various pillars—from support for survivors to Indigenous-led approaches—this funding aims to reduce harm effectively. Some notable programs include the Enhanced Early Intervention Program, providing vital support for families impacted by domestic violence, and housing services for survivors of human trafficking by Hope Restored Canada.

Overall, 2025 marks a strong commitment from Saskatchewan to invest approximately $32 million into programs addressing interpersonal violence through the justice system, ensuring that support reaches those who need it most.
