The parties' promises on Gender-based and intimate partner violence

Gender-based and intimate partner violence platforms

Here's what the 2025 Canadian election parties are promising.

Make murder motivated by hate, including femicides, a constructive first degree murder offence
Make it a criminal offence to distribute non-consensual sexual deepfakes
Increase penalties for the distribution of intimate images without consent and sexual assault on summary conviction

Create a new offence of "assault of an intimate partner" to set tougher sentences for intimate partner abuse
Require the strictest bail conditions for anyone accused of intimate partner violence, including GPS ankle bracelet monitoring and immediate imprisonment if conditions are breached
Require killings of one's intimate partner, child, or partner's child to always be charged as first-degree murder

"End the senseless practice of downgrading the murder of an intimate partner to manslaughter, simply because the murderer claims it was a so-called “crime of passion”. A Conservative government will make sure that the murder of an intimate partner, one’s own child, or a partner’s child will be treated as first-degree murder." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17
