IWD on March 8 - a day to celebrate accomplishments in gender equality.

"Violence against women, including femicide, is a global emergency. Around 50,000 women and girls worldwide were killed in 2024, most by family members," Volker Turk told UN in Geneva last month.

Gender equality cannot be achieved in this environment - it is being eroded.

That's why #Canada needs to #CallItFemicide.

147 women and girls killed in 2025 will not celebrate IWD2026👇

[Myrna Dawson🇨🇦 @DawsonMyrna]

In 2025, the number of women & girls killed in Canada has almost returned to pre-COVID levels.

That is good news...

...but that remains a low bar for success.

We have still lost 147 women & girls, killed mostly by men (90%).

Over last 2 yrs, @CAN_Femicide identified at least 11 women & girls killed by intimate partner gun violence, among a much larger group of victims for which relevant circumstances were unknown. When method was known, 1/3 of victims were shot https://t.co/avQ6tGOKTb via @DavidEbner
