BEING THERE TO CARE, SAFETYNET NIPISSING PROVIDES AWARENESS, EDUCATION AND
SUPPORT IN WORKPLACES FOR COLLEAGUES EXPERIENCING INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE
(IPV). 


WHAT IS INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE? 

You may know it as ‘domestic violence’. In a broad sense, it is harm caused by
an intimate partner, which takes many forms but is often the result of an
attempt to gain or assert power and control over a partner. Victims and
offenders can be of any gender but 79% of IPV victims are women with higher
rates for Indigenous peoples, the disabled, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
The disabled may face additional barriers leaving due to an increased likelihood
of financial or physical dependence on an intimate partner.
