Between 2018 and 2022, there was a yearly average of 1,188 domestic violence complaints in Gatineau, but last year that number rose sharply to 1,485.
In its annual report to city council in mid-June, the Ottawa Police Service reported a 10-per-cent increase in cases of intimate partner violence that resulted in criminal charges in 2022. Police also reported a 13-per-cent increase in the total number of related charges laid in 2022.
Stubbs said relationships between Ottawa police and the local network of social service agencies and non-governmental organizations had “strengthened over the last year or two.” “We certainly want to see those numbers go down, but I think having strong relationships with those agencies is key. It’s an absolute must because they deal directly with those victims.”
“Our non-profit organization is experiencing an unprecedented surge in demand for our unique no-cost moving services for survivors fleeing abuse. In the past six months, the number of survivors asking for support has doubled,” Shelter Movers said in a news release last week.Article content “Without a doubt, we are seeing women who are coming in and disclosing more traumatic instances of abuse that have happened to them,” Telford said.
