"We are socialized to respond to the vulnerability of white women, and it's a truth that is hard for some people to look in the face," @TaranaBurke says. "[There's a] stark difference in what it takes to get attention around Black women and girls." https://t.co/FabdLNazfs

The anti-violence movement, specifically the anti-sexual violence movement began with the advocacy of Black women in the United States. Sojourner Truth, an American abolitionist and women's rights activist, spoke openly about the deep ties between racism and rape in this country.

We have seen a dramatic increase in gender-based violence within the context of COVID-19. Now more than ever, Canada needs a National Action Plan on Violence Against Women and Gender-based Violence https://t.co/dQAIgJ9Zlz

[UWindsor Bystander @UWINBystander]

31 yrs ago, 14 women were murdered because they were women. Addressing gender based violence requires a National Action Plan on Violence Against Women and Gender-based Violence. We must ALL work together to foster a society where women are safe and respected.

[CBC Windsor @CBCWindsor]

#Allyship doesn't always mean you agree with everything said by a person you're an ally to. It means listening with an open mind, trying to understand their experience, being compassionate regardless of differences & knowing one person doesn't represent an entire group. #mymTips
