Message
from the ministers
All forms of violence greatly impact the lives of those experiencing it, as well as limiting the social and economic
development potential of the entire community.
This relationship of dominance and control by one person over another, or by a group of people over another,
is the very antithesis of the principle of the right to equality conferred upon all Quebeckers. Domestic violence
is one of the forms of violence of which women remain the primary victims in Québec.
In 1995, to counter this social evil, the Québec government published the Policy on Intervention in Conjugal
Violence: Preventing, Detecting, Ending Conjugal Violence.
The Policy has enabled the various partners in the public, parapublic and community sectors who are directly
involved in domestic violence issues to combine an integrated, holistic and concerted approach and intervention
strategies.
Québec expertise in this matter is unique and inspiring, and remains a model in Canada and abroad.
Since the implementation of the Policy, important progress has been made to counter domestic violence
and help the victims of this crime. Among these achievements are the consolidation of the shelter network,
women’s centres and assistance centres for victims of crime, the launch of two government-led awareness
campaigns and a legislative amendment allowing for termination of a residential lease, including for reasons
of domestic violence.
These achievements have had a definite impact, since an ever-increasing number of victims of domestic violence
crimes turn to police services each year to ensure their protection and expose their abusers. Also, since 2007, there
has been a significant decrease in the number of homicides and serious crimes committed by a spouse.
However, while progress has been made to prevent, detect and end domestic violence, the government
recognizes that continued action is necessary.
The 2012–2017 Government Action Plan on domestic violence will enable us to intensify our efforts in order to
ensure the safety and protection of victims of domestic violence and the children exposed to it, and meet
the needs of violent spouses in terms of assistance and support. In addition, it will help meet the needs of
Aboriginal populations and populations vulnerable to domestic violence, including elderly women, women
with a disability, immigrant women, women from cultural communities, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual and
transgender women as well as male victims of domestic violence.
The action plan includes 135 commitments. Out of this number, 35 commitments specifically address Aboriginal
people and are adapted to their reality.
The development of this action plan was made possible thanks to the participation of representatives from
all the organizations that took part in the consultations. Their recommendations are greatly reflected in the
commitments of the departments and agencies involved in the 2012–2017 Action Plan. We thank them for
their collaboration.

Lastly, achieving equality between men and women and eradicating all forms of violence requires the solidarity
of the entire Québec population. We therefore invite all citizens to work together to make Québec a society
free of all forms of violence.

DEFINITION
OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Domestic violence is characterized by a series of repetitive acts, usually of increasing frequency and intensity.
Specialists refer to this progression as the “cycle of violence” (or sometimes “spiral of violence”). In the person
committing the abuse, it proceeds according to a defined cycle, through successive phases marked by mounting
tension, abuse, rationalization, reconciliation and a calm period. For the victim, these phases correspond to
fear, anger, a feeling of responsibility for the violence and, lastly, the hope that the situation will improve.
It should be noted that not all of these phases are always present and they do not necessarily follow that order.
Domestic violence includes psychological, verbal, physical and sexual abuse as well as acts of financial
domination. It is not the result of a loss of control, but is rather a means chosen to dominate another person
and assert one’s power over that person. Domestic violence can be experienced in a marital, extra-marital or
dating relationship, and at any age.
Psychological abuse involves putting down the other person: it translates into hurtful attitudes and words,
humiliation, belittling, blackmail and neglect. It may also take the form of forced isolation by the abuser, who,
often motivated by jealousy, forbids the victim from seeing certain people or restricts the victim’s movements
outside the house. It damages self-esteem and self-confidence, and fosters doubt in the mind of the victim as to
the abuser’s responsibility in the situation.
The more socially isolated a victim becomes, the more the person becomes vulnerable to other forms of violence.
In some cases, abusers may use spiritual beliefs to justify their domination and power over their victims.
Verbal abuse is most often a product of psychological abuse: it involves sarcasm, insults, yelling, degrading
and humiliating comments, blackmail, threats or orders given in an aggressive manner. Verbal intimidation
lays the groundwork for physical violence, creates insecurity or fear and prevents the victim from escaping
the situation.
Physical abuse asserts the abuser’s dominance: it is manifested by hitting and all kinds of physical harm,
from pushing to burning, biting or breaking bones, to murder. Physical abuse is often disguised as an accident.
Sexual abuse damages the victim’s sexual integrity: it goes beyond sexuality itself in the sense that, through
violence, the abuser aims to dominate the other person on the most private and intimate level. It involves
sexual assaults, harassment, intimidation, manipulation, brutality for the purposes of non-consensual sexual
relations, and so on. Certain victims consent to sexual relations in the hopes of maintaining the peace and
avoiding violence.
Economic abuse is characterized by domination by the abuser that deprives the victim of the financial and
material resources necessary to properly run the household. Victims’ economic activities are controlled and
monitored, such that they do not have the power to make any decisions in this regard, regardless of whether
they work outside the home or not. These acts lead to economic dependence.
Among all these forms of violence, some are considered crimes, including threats, physical violence, criminal
negligence, sexual abuse, criminal harassment, kidnapping and forcible confinement.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES
OF GOVERNMENT ACTION
ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
The actions of the Québec government detailed in the 2012–2017 Action Plan are
guided by the nine guiding principles listed in 1995 in the Policy on Intervention in
Conjugal Violence: Preventing, Detecting, Ending Conjugal Violence:
¡¡ Society shall reject and denounce all forms of violence.
¡¡ Society shall promote the respect of individuals and their differences.
¡¡ Gender equality is the primary condition for the elimination of domestic violence.
¡¡ Domestic violence is a criminal matter.
¡¡ Domestic violence is a means chosen to dominate and assert power over another person.
¡¡ The safety and protection of women victims and children are the priority when it comes
to intervention strategies.
¡¡ All intervention strategies shall be respectful of victims’ autonomy and based on their capacity
to regain control over their lives.
¡¡ All interventions shall take into account the effects of domestic violence on children
and be designed to minimize these effects.
¡¡ Abusers are responsible for their abusive behaviour; the aim of intervention strategies shall be
to have them acknowledge and assume responsibility for their violence.

BASED ON THE FOUR STRATEGY DIRECTIONS
1
PREVENTION OF VIOLENCE
AND PROMOTION OF NON-VIOLENCE
Prevention is the first strategy direction on which the government is focusing its actions in order to provide a
long-term solution to the problem of domestic violence and eliminate its causes. The promotion of egalitarian
relationships between men and women, as well as relationship models based on respect for human rights,
respect for differences and individual accountability, is the central element of this undertaking.
Prevention is defined as all actions that reduce the likelihood of a phenomenon occurring by tackling its causes
and related factors. While prevention is essential in decreasing the frequency of domestic violence, activities
promoting non-violence must also be carried out in order to change the culture and values conducive to the
reoccurrence of violence over the long-term. The promotion of non-violence therefore consists specifically
in activities aimed at modifying political, social, economic, cultural, environmental and biological contexts to
increase the well-being of individuals and populations.
OBJECTIVES
to be met in the prevention of violence and the promotion of non-violence:
Promote the establishment of egalitarian relationships between women and men as well as
between girls and boys.
Raise public awareness about the issue of domestic violence to reduce social tolerance for this
form of violence.
Provide information on assistance and protection resources available to victims of domestic
violence, particularly to Aboriginal people and populations vulnerable to this type of violence.

DETECTION
AND EARLY IDENTIFICATION
9
The second strategy direction of the 2012–2017 Action Plan is the detection of people affected by domestic
violence and the early identification of this issue. It is well known that victims, often for fear of reprisal, hesitate
to expose their situation. For this reason, it is important to systematize detection and early identification of
this form of violence.
Detection involves recognizing the signs of domestic violence and creating an atmosphere of trust that is
conducive to having victims and their abusers expose their situation and take action to change it. It enables
victims to break the silence surrounding their situation and reduces the risks that further abuse will take place.
Lastly, it makes it possible to stop the cycle of violence and attenuate the consequences for all those involved.
OBJECTIVES
to be met in detection and early identification:
Incorporate detection or early identification of domestic violence in the professional
practices of targeted stakeholders.
Improve actions to detect domestic violence and ensure that people are referred to
the appropriate resources for assistance and protection.

PSYCHOSOCIAL
INTERVENTION
This strategy direction deals with psychosocial intervention strategies for those affected by domestic violence.
These individuals have needs in several areas, including safety, protection, assistance, support, counselling,
information, guidance, referral to the appropriate resources for their situation, and so on. Their needs vary based
on their personal, family, social, economic and cultural reality, as well as their age and physical and mental state.
Therefore, to ensure effective intervention, psychosocial resources must be adapted in terms of screening,
referral and intervention strategies for victims of domestic violence, children exposed to this type of violence and
abusers. Moreover, intervention requires a shared understanding and a holistic approach to domestic violence,
objectives that are targeted in each of the measures in this strategy direction.
OBJECTIVES
to be met in psychosocial intervention:
Make information available on the services offered with regard to domestic violence
to Aboriginal people and populations vulnerable to this type of violence.
Provide training for case workers on the various realities of Aboriginal people
and populations vulnerable to domestic violence.
Ensure that resources meet the safety, protection and psychosocial support needs
of victims of domestic violence.
GENERAL COMPONENT
Ensure that resources provide services specifically geared towards and adapted
to children exposed to domestic violence.
Ensure that resources meet the needs of spouses exhibiting abusive behaviours
while being aimed at making abusers accountable for their actions.

Design and deliver domestic violence intervention training to targeted
stakeholders in the health and social services network.
Develop and deliver training to professionals in supervised access
services in community organizations, allowing them to strengthen
the skills necessary to ensure quality service.
Provide financial support to community organizations working with
victims of domestic violence.
Provide financial support to persons receiving last-resort financial
assistance:
¡¡ who are sheltered in a safe house for victims of domestic violence
by providing:
®® a benefit for temporary limitations to employment for a period
of (at most) three consecutive months;
®® a special benefit of 100 dollars per month.
¡¡ by granting them a special benefit for moving costs when the move
is due to domestic violence (interpreted as being a matter of health
and safety, and justified by a medical certificate).
Grant an exemption to victims of domestic violence receiving
last-resort financial assistance:
¡¡ from parental contributions for young adults who can show that they
were abused by their parents;
¡¡ for the value of their home, up to $80,000, for one year following the
date on which they moved out for health or safety reasons.
Grant last-resort financial assistance to victims of domestic violence:
¡¡ without requiring them to claim their rights to support payments,
as is usually the case; however the MESS reserves the right to claim
them itself;
¡¡ without requiring them to repay sums received without entitlement,
for victims who can show that they were unable to declare their actual
situation because of abuse by their spouse directed at them or their
children.
Provide domestic violence training to Emploi-Québec officials
and make completion of this training mandatory during their
first year of hire.

POLICE, JUDICIAL
AND CORRECTIONAL INTERVENTION
13
Police, judicial and correctional intervention makes it possible to ensure the safety of victims and their families.
It also enables victims to reclaim power over their lives, while respecting their dignity and personal journey.
It is furthermore aimed at breaking the cycle of violence, making abusers accountable for their abusive behaviour,
and preventing subsequent offences. Victims must be encouraged to seek help from police and judicial authorities.
They must be supported in this undertaking in order to reduce the rate of withdrawal of criminal charges.
OBJECTIVES
to be met in police, judicial and correctional intervention:
Ensure the safety and protection of victims of domestic violence and their families,
including populations vulnerable to this type of violence.
Encourage victims of domestic violence to seek assistance from police and judicial
authorities.
Direct victims of domestic violence towards the appropriate assistance
and protection resources.
Make abusers accountable for their abusive behaviour.
Adapt intervention strategies for offenders struggling with domestic violence issues.

¡¡ continue to ensure access to court accompaniment services offered
to people from cultural communities;
¡¡ continue their partnerships with organizations that work with
vulnerable populations.
Promote the sharing of expertise and best practices for police intervention
in cases of domestic violence in all police forces, including through:

ESSENTIAL CONDITIONS

FOR SUCCESSFUL ACTION
The Intervention Policy details the essential conditions for successful action in order to more effectively address
domestic violence. They include coordinated services, intersectoral collaboration and appropriate training for
personnel in the various sectors. The success of these actions rests, among other things, on consideration of
the organizational realities, missions and areas of activity of each partner. Training plays an important role in
ensuring workers’ abilities to pinpoint problems and take corrective measures.
These conditions, which are based on a shared understanding of domestic violence, must be backed by
research, which will help expand knowledge. They must also be based on the evaluation of services and
programs in order to make the necessary adjustments possible.
OBJECTIVES
to be met with regard to essential conditions for successful action:
Support the development of knowledge regarding domestic violence among stakeholders
in targeted networks, in particular those who work with populations vulnerable to this type
of violence.
Promote the consistency and complementarity of psychosocial, police, judicial and correctional
interventions in domestic violence.

INTRODUCTION
Domestic violence in the Aboriginal nations of Québec is a very complex and pervasive issue in
these communities. It requires a special approach with victims that must take into account the
realities of the First Nations and the Inuit population and be respectful of the culture and values of
these people.
The commitments set forth by the Québec government to meet the needs of Aboriginal victims of
domestic violence and exposed family members are grouped together in a separate section, the
Aboriginal component, in order to address the special nature of the issues and properly illustrate all
the government actions taken with regard to this population.
Therefore, based on consultations with Aboriginal organizations and premises recognized by all
partner departments and organizations, the Aboriginal component proposes the achievement of
35 measures aimed specifically at the Aboriginal population over the next five years. Apart from the
fact that they help to recognize and meet the needs of victims, stakeholders and communities with
regard to awareness raising, prevention and training, the retained measures also promote better
collaboration between departments and organizations, ensuring a more adapted and harmonized
intervention. As with the measures addressing the general population, the Aboriginal measures are
grouped according to the Intervention Policy’s main lines and objectives.
Lastly, the Aboriginal component of the 2012–2017 Action Plan emphasizes the inclusion of the
concept of “family” in the term “domestic”: the links that exist between conjugal violence and other
forms of violence experienced within Aboriginal families clearly call for the measures to address this
dimension as well. The issue of domestic violence in Aboriginal communities extends far beyond
relationships between spouses and requires a comprehensive approach aimed at both the couple
and the family.
With this component, the government acknowledges the importance of taking into consideration
the characteristics of Aboriginal communities and making these part of the domestic violence intervention approach in order to provide this population with the best conditions possible to effectively
address this type of violence.
