Toronto Police received 689 reports of intimate partner violence in the first 15 days of December .

The majority of domestic violence victims, 79 per cent of whom report the incidents to police, are women.

Advocates say there’s a number of reasons that come up time and time again.

Financial stress, increased substance use and increased time indoors with abusers also contributes to the problem.

Johnson is the CEO of Embrave , an organization supporting survivors of gender-based violence in Peel region.

She says she is trying to end the cycle of retraumatization that women go through when they finally muster up the courage to flee.

Her other form of giving back includes sharing her story, to be a voice for the voiceless.
