Today, we remember women hurt or killed by cowardly violence and stand with survivors and their loved ones.
As the 16 Days of Activism begins, we recommit to preventing violence, strengthening supports, and doing the work so every woman in our province feels safe.

Content warning - Gender-based violence
Gender-based violence disproportionately impacts women, girls, and gender-diverse people, especially Indigenous women and other marginalized communities. It is preventable but only if we act.
