Declaring an Intimate Partner Violence Epidemic – The Agenda with Steve Paikin
At the end of 2022, Lanark County became the first Ontario community to declare Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) an epidemic. This came as a result of significant advocacy following the Culleton, Kuyzk and Warmerdam inquest in 2022.
Luke’s Place Advocacy Director, Pamela Cross, and the Mayor of Mississippi Mills, Christa Lowry, sat down with Steve Paikin from TVO’s The Agenda to explain why it’s important to declare IPV an epidemic and what some communities are doing to fight back against this growing issue.
