In the latest thought-provoking episode of the Resolving Violence podcast, Crystal Giesbrecht delves deep into the intersection of intimate partner violence (IPV) and animal maltreatment. Crystal, the director of research and communications at the Provincial Association Transition Houses and Services of Saskatchewan (PAADs), shares her findings from a groundbreaking study conducted in Saskatchewan in 2020. This episode sheds light on the importance of providing support for survivors of domestic violence who have animals, and the far-reaching implications of this issue.
Crystal emphasizes the availability of animal safekeeping programs offered by animal welfare organizations, humane societies, and SPCAs. These programs allow survivors to temporarily keep their pets while in a domestic violence shelter or during temporary relocation. Her research underscores the significance of partnerships between animal safekeeping programs and domestic violence agencies or the police. Such collaborations ensure a comprehensive response to the needs of survivors with animals.
By bringing attention to the availability of animal safekeeping programs, the importance of collaborative efforts, and the need to address resource disparities, this episode serves as a call to action. It urges listeners to support initiatives that prioritize the safety and well-being of both human and animal survivors of domestic violence. By working together, we can create a safer and more compassionate society for all.
