Changing the landscape: ending violence, achieving equality: final report / by Pat Freeman Marshall and Marthe Asselin Vaillancourt.: SW45-1/1993E

Canadian women pay a high price for society's tolerance of violence and inequality toward them. How high a price was revealed in the grim reality of women's stories as the Panel made its unique and sometimes haunting journey across Canada. All women are vulnerable. But many Aboriginal women, older women, poor women, women of colour, immigrant women, and women with disabilities told of unspeakable suffering. Arguing that much of what women endure is preventable, the Panel outlines a National Action Plan, a blueprint for changing society that calls for zero tolerance of violence against women. Established by the federal government in August 1991, the Panel was asked to develop a National Action Plan to end violence against women in Canada. The findings of the Panel are discussed in four components: a Final Report, Executive Summary/National Action Plan, a Community Kit, and Community Stories.
