Vote to End Gender-Based Violence

I'm salty with political leaders for having weak to no strategy regarding the femicide epidemic because my sector is very clearly showing them what needs to happen and none of it is being picked up.

You want to know what it will take to make women's lives safer in Canada? Listen to experts ⬇️

The list of supporters keeps growing! Over 300 organizations have signed on to the joint statement on the elimination of the Minister of WAGE in Canada. Read here: https://www.criaw-icref.ca/statements/joint-news-release-on-minister-of-wage/

Great panel! Check out @endvaw.bsky.social work on TFGBV at techsafetycanada.ca!

Also? Kate was my boss at FAFIA when Harper came into power, slashed Status of Women's budget by 60% and defunded any work related to advocacy. So, we were forced to close.

It was the first of two times in my career this would happen.

Please trust those us reading the writing on the wall.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Canadian Government Eliminates Minister for Women and Gender Equality Amid United Nations Women’s Rights Summit.

I get that they want to appeal to a certain base in order to secure gov't power in the next election, but this is a shitty priorities message.

Equality isn't "a nice idea, maybe later" option, and throwing it out the window isn't a winning strategy, ffs.

Canada’s housing crisis leads to more unsafe housing for victims of domestic violence HALIFAX - Women’s advocates say provincial and federal governments need to step up efforts to create housing for people escaping gender-based violence because too many women are forced to remain

“They’re getting stuck in that cycle of experiencing gender-based violence and housing instability and precarity”

Shelter stays are getting longer for women escaping domestic violence, more women leaving for precarious housing or return to their abuser
