Support should be there when survivors need it. Toronto needs City services that understand gender-based violence (GBV), connect people to the right supports, and make it easier to access help.

Toronto needs to build safety into transit, parks, libraries, recreation centres, and other public spaces, with meaningful input from survivors, women, and gender-diverse people. Learn more: https://t.co/9w7n3FLDzO

Safety starts with having somewhere safe to go. Toronto needs more affordable and supportive housing, stronger pathways for survivors leaving violence, and fewer barriers to accessing housing.

Safety means more than responding to violence after it happens. WomanACT is calling on municipal candidates to put gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response at the centre of Toronto’s Community Safety Strategy.

Safe. Housed. Supported. Equal.

Gender-based violence is not only an individual or interpersonal issue. It is also shaped by the conditions in which people live. Many of these conditions are shaped by municipal decisions.

Reconciliation is not a single day or a statement. It is an ongoing responsibility grounded in accountability, learning, and action.
