Awareness - Violence Against Women
| Today marks the anniversary of the murder of 14 women at l'Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, who were killed because of their gender. We come together to remember the victims, while also reflecting on the women, girls, LGBTQI2S and gender diverse individuals for whom gender-based violence continues to be a daily reality. Approximately every six days, a woman in Canada is killed by her intimate partner. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused spikes in gender based violence here in Canada and around the world. One in 10 women is very or extremely concerned about violence in the home, suggests a Statistics Canada survey about COVID 19. Black, Indigenous and newcomer women are at greater risk. We also must engage men to take action against violence against women and girls. Wolfpack look after each other. |
