iSeventy-two per cent of
Ontarians say men bear the
responsibility for ending wife
assault, a recent survey says.
The survey, commissioned by the
Ontario Women's Directorate as a
follow-up to last November's
public education campaign,
indicates significant changes in the
public's awareness of and
sensitivity to wife assault.
Women's Issues Minister Marion
Boyd announced the survey results
at the launch of the seventh annual
wife assault public education
campaign. Nov. 2 marks the
beginning of Wife Assault
Prevention Month in Ontario.
“Our wife assault prevention
campaign is changing the way
people think and feel about this
crime,” said Ms. Boyd. “The public
has clearly understood the
messages stressed in last year's
campaign - that psychological
abuse is, part of wife assault, and
that men are responsible for
stopping the abuse.”
“Ontarians now have a better
understanding of the forms that
abuse can take, and the vast
majority (82 per cent) now agree
that emotional and psychological
abuse can be as harmful as physical
assault.”
Eighty-five per cent of those
surveyed see that discarding or
destroying a woman's possessions,
or keeping her isolated from friends
and family is abusive behaviour.
And while last year 71 per cent
recognized threats to be abusive
behaviour, this year 86 per cent do.
The inroads which have been
made in expanding the public's
definition of wife assault are
particularly evident among men.
Previously, men were less likely
than women to consider
psychological and verbal abuse as
part of wife assault. This difference
in perceptions has virtually
disappeared.
“But although these results are
encouraging,” said Ms. Boyd, “we
must not become complacent or
think that we can slow our efforts
to prevent wife assault. We have a
long way to go before wife assault
ceases to be a major threat to
women in this province.”
“We have to make sure all
women and men in Ontario have
access to our messages about wife
assault. And we need to recognize
that different communities will
approach this issue in different
ways.”
To this end, the Ontario Women's
Directorate is working with
community groups to develop wife
assault brochures in 17 languages.
Radio ads will be broadcast in 11
languages and newspaper ads will
be run in 14 languages.
The Directorate has awarded
$200,000 to 114 organizations for
public education projects geared to
the needs of their own
communities.
The Directorate will re-broadcast
two television commercials first
aired last year in English and
French. Both reinforce the
campaign theme that “no man has
the right to assault a woman.”
This wife assault public
education campaign is part of a co
ordinated wife assault prevention
strategy. In 1992, the Government
of Ontario will spend more than
$70 million on shelters and
counselling services, prevention
programs, and measures relating to
the criminal-justice system.
The Ontario Women's Director
ate co-ordinates the multi-ministry
strategy.
