In 1981, the first private members motion was made to the House of Commons to address family violence. It is now 20 years later and many changes have taken place to address this important issue yet domestic violence continues.

In Prince Edward Island, a Premier's Action Committee, made of up representatives from education to the legal system, is currently working to address family violence prevention.
