Disability and Gender-Based Violence in Nova Scotia

In Nova Scotia, women with disabilities are over two times more likely to experience violent victimization than able-bodied women. Women with disabilities are at risk of violence in many forms, including neglect, physical abuse, sexual assault, psychological abuse and financial exploitation.

This is what accessible services are currently available across Nova Scotia. For more information, visit One Action.
