FEEDER SPECIAL & WILD BIRD FEED i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i 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.
