She delivered a welcome speech that highlighted the gender-based violence approach within the probation sector, the work that CEP is undertaking in this regard, as well as the strategy and vision for advancing evidence-based practices with offenders and victims of this type of violence.

The conference also took a closer look at intimate partner violence in LGBTQ+ relationships and women’s use of force against their male partners.
