High rates of domestic violence in SK
A new Stats Canada report says Saskatchewan has one of the highest numbers of family violence reported to police.
Diane Delaney is the coordinator of the Provincial Association of Transition Houses and she says these numbers are a major concern because domestic violence is under reported.
“Violence within relationships is more common than we would want it to be,” she said.
“Typically it's been a problem that has been seen as a very private issue and our work over the years of course is to make it more public.”
