    Meanwhile, Women and Gender Equality Canada announced yesterday that $607.4 million will be spent over four years towards the National Action Plan to End Gender-based Violence.

    $700,000 will be spent on crisis hotline services for people experiencing gender-based violence in this province. The funding will be spread out over five years and will ensure people get timely support when they need it with enhanced trauma-informed services.  In this province, crisis hotline services are operated by End Sexual Violence NL and the Transition House Association of Newfoundland and Labrador. This is part of a new federal-provincial agreement with Women and Gender Equality Canada who announced yesterday that $607.4 million will be spent over four years towards the National Action Plan to End Gender-based Violence.
