National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women
Today is National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. Our flags fly at half mast in honouring the lives lost and commit to action. We must call out misogyny in all its forms.
“In Canada and around the world, women, girls, 2SLGBTQQIA+ (two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, plus) and gender diverse individuals face unacceptable violence and discrimination. Gender-based violence in Canada has been magnified and amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic.”
