Annual Progress Report on the National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence: 2023-2024 - Canada.ca

When the NAP was agreed upon by the federal and provincial governments we received it with cautious optimism but had many questions - mostly about the role of civil society, accountability and independent oversight. The 1st report is out and we still have questions www.canada.ca/en/women-gen...

Gisèle Pelicot wanted us to know her name. These are the names of the men convicted in her rape

45 Governments (including Canada) have ratified the ILO Convention on Violence and Harassment. That's a great start, but for workers to truly realize the right to work free from violence and harassment, we need governments, employers and unions to work together to implement the convention. #16Days
