The Summit was originally scheduled to be held at Parliament House in July but has been pushed back to September 6th and 7th. With the summit now being held as a virtual event.
The National Summit on Women’s Safety is an important step towards developing the next National Plan to end violence against women and children. The next National Plan will build on the existing National Plan in a way that addresses evolving issues and commits to ending violence against women and children.
