Women's Issues
The Ministry of Community, Aboriginal and Women's Services has
two branches to address women's issues. The Stopping the Violence
Branch funds and manages transition house programs for women and
children leaving abusive relationships and counselling programs
for women who have experienced violence and children who witness
abuse. The Women's Policy Branch provides policy analysis and research
support to government on issues that affect women.
These branches, plus the Assistant Deputy Minister's office, have
a budget for 2003/04 of $51.3 million with 34 full-time equivalents
in staff.

are addressed
