Women's Directorate
Department Overview
Advancing Women's Equality
Violence Prevention
Men and women do not have equal access to safety and security in our society. Women’s experiences of fear and violence are a barrier to women achieving social, political and economic equality.
The Women’s Directorate and the Department of Justice are co-leads of the Circles of Respect and Equality Group (C.O.R.E.) initiative and have developed the Stop Violence in the Yukon website.
As part of its ongoing commitment to eliminate violence against women, the Women’s Directorate organized a three-year public awareness campaign focusing on zero tolerance of violence against women and children. The Women’s Directorate and the Department of Justice are co-leads of the Circles of Respect and Equality Group (C.O.R.E.) initiative and have developed an inter-agency working group.
The C.O.R.E. campaign has produced a wide range of public education materials to raise awareness of the issue of violence against women and to assist women leaving abusive relationships.
