The federal government is contributing $300,000 for a 36-month White Ribbon campaign across Canada to try to end violence against women, Kellie Leitch, federal minister responsible for the Status of Women announced Friday.

Under the program, the organizations will share their data and create an online toolkit with ways to to help men end violence against women.

“Everyone needs to be part of the solution,” Leitch told a presentation at Ottawa police headquarters that included Chief Charles Bordelau and Todd Minerson, director of the White Ribbon campaign.
The minister said a to wear a ribbon has become a pledge to work to stop violence against women and to change attitudes.
Bordeleau said it’s important to get men involved in ending violence against women, that it’s a broad community issue.
OPS and other forces continue to research their response to violence against women, and work to prevent the crimes, Bordeleau said.
The police service has had to recent initiatives to raise awareness of the issue: The “I can MANifest change” campaign, and “Walk a mile in her shoes.”
Leitch said that the focus should be on preventing crimes ferom occurring, but once they do that the government response must be that victims are not to blame.
“There is no reason a woman should tolerate violence or harassment,” Leitch says
