Domestic Violence Crisis/Info Hotline
In April 2020, one in 10 women reported being very or extremely concerned about the possibility of violence in their homes. COVID has created and highlighted gaps in the systems we have to keep people safe and added heavily to the challenges of those experiencing gender-based violence as well as on the organizations that support them. Now, more than ever, we need to take collective action.
The #16Days of activism campaign takes place November 25-December 10 and an opportunity to talk and reflect on the concrete steps that we can take to question, call out, and speak up against acts of gender-based violence. Women, especially Indigenous women and girls, LGBTQ2SI+ and gender diverse individuals, those with disabilities and/or living in remote communities are at a greater risk of experiencing violence.
