If we #CallitFemicide, we can contribute to the de-normalization of male violence against women and girls, too often framed as a private issue rather than public violence that has widespread, societal impacts.

At least 20 countries have already recognized #femicide as a distinct crime by amending their criminal codes or implementing special legislation.
#Canada must learn from these jurisdictions who are taking the lead in addressing and preventing femicide.

Shelter Movers Waterloo Region has been renamed Shelter Movers Southwestern Ontario to reflect the area we serve. There is no change to our work in WR. Thank you to our volunteers, donors & partners who continue to support us helping families transition to a life free from abuse
The attack in a Gender Studies class at @UWaterloo is heart-wrenching and chilling.
Students, professors and staff deserve to feel safe and protected.
My thoughts are with those impacted and my gratitude is with the first responders.

As Pride month comes to a close, it is important to remember that sexual violence is not exclusively heteronormative. By creating safe spaces and promoting inclusivity, we can help ensure that all survivors receive the support and healing they deserve.
You can't just say "this is a safe space" and expect someone to who feels unsafe speaking up to magically feel safe.
It's not your words that create safety, it's your actions.
Looking for a summer adventure that counts? Get Your Move On. Volunteer with Shelter Movers, MOVE your body, BUILD friendships, and STRENGTHEN your community. Join the movement.
