Across British Columbia, BWSS has called on every Mayor and Council to take action on gender-based violence in particular intimate partner violence and femicide—because public safety must be designed with survivors in mind. This tracker reflects where each municipality stands: who’s met with us, who’s committed to action, and who we’re still waiting to hear from.

This isn’t about blame, however it is about accountability—and building a province where no woman’s safety depends on her postal code.
