For the past three decades, Federal-Provincial-Territorial (FPT) Ministers responsible for the Status of Women\&nbsp;have shared a common vision to end violence against women in all its forms. Violence against women inCanada is a serious, pervasive problem that crosses every social boundary and affects communities across\&nbsp;the country. It remains a significant barrier to women{\textquoteright}s equality and has devastating impacts on the lives of\&nbsp;women, children, families and Canadian society as a whole.
This report marks the third time that the FPT Status of Women Forum has worked with Statistics Canada to\&nbsp;add to the body of evidence on gender-based violence. Assessing Violence Against Women: A Statistical\&nbsp;Profile was released in 2002 and was followed by Measuring Violence Against Women: Statistical Trends\&nbsp;2006. The 2006 report expanded the analysis into new areas, presenting information on Aboriginal women\&nbsp;and women living in Canada{\textquoteright}s territories. The current report maintains this important focus and also includes\&nbsp;information on dating violence, violence against girls and violence that occurs outside of the intimate\&nbsp;partner/family context. It also shows trends over time and provides data at national, provincial/territorial,\&nbsp;and census metropolitan area levels. A study on the economic impacts of one form of violence against\&nbsp;women, spousal violence, is also presented.},
