Today was a gift. Thank you to @BuildHopeElgin brilliant leader @Liz_Brown2002, for organizing a space for everyone that works to end domestic violence in St Thomas to explore going beyond self-care to structural #CollectiveCare. The morning was filled with tenderness and hope.

92 women killed in the first half of 2021, up from 60 two years ago my colleague @mollyhayes writes, citing new research from @CAN_Femicide. The solutions for curbing femicide and gender-based violence are out there, if we have the will to implement them

Dear Survivor,

You did not consent.
Yet you may feel responsible & experience shame while carrying the weight of fear.

It is not your fault.
You are not to blame.
You are not alone.
We will always believe you.
