Gatineau Police host inaugural domestic violence conference

The Gatineau Police Department (SPVG) held its inaugural conference on domestic violence on 26 November 2024, at the Gatineau Cultural Centre, bringing together over 165 participants from law enforcement, healthcare, social services, and community organisations. The event, part of SPVG’s 2023-2026 action plan on domestic violence, focused on intersectionality—exploring how various factors such as race, gender, socioeconomic status, and disability intersect to affect victims of domestic violence.

The event featured five expert-led sessions that explored the complexities of domestic violence, emphasising the importance of an inclusive, multi-disciplinary approach. Presenters highlighted the need for services that are not only effective but also equitable and accessible to all individuals, regardless of their background. Link to full story here.
