dc.description.abstractWhy don’t they just leave? Roughly 24 people per minute experience a form of intimate partner violence in Canada. Despite this strikingly high statistic, domestic violence remains among the lowest of police-reported crimes, as victims often face barriers in accessing support from law enforcement due to psychological, economic, physical, sexual, or technology-facilitated abuse by their partners. Access to justice is a fundamental value in the Canadian justice system, yet it becomes a significant obstacle for victims of domestic abuse who seek to rebuild their lives after leaving their partners or as they attempt to leave (Government of Canada, n.d.). The primary focus of this project is to provide easily accessible online information to victims of domestic violence as they navigate the legal system in Alberta. My mission is to educate, encourage, and empower both survivors of domestic violence and those still navigating its challenges. Resources provided will discuss emergency protection orders, lawyers trained in trauma-informed response, shelters, and financial support. Additionally, resources will be listed to help friends and family members of domestic violence victims recognize signs of abuse and offer support. Recognizing that the effects of domestic violence extend beyond an abusive relationship, this website provides mental health support and online courses to empower survivors with knowledge and informed decision-making.
