At the YWCA, I see the compounded oppression that 2SLGBTQIA+ folks face as they navigate poverty, violence and homelessness.
Support systems like Lulu’s lodge are not only needed, but they are also life-saving.
Such a honour to spend time with incredible leaders in their space. On behalf of the women and families we serve, thank you @groulx_lynne and @NWAC_CA for everything you do. @YWCARegina
Thanks to President @melcoomber and team for meeting with us in our Two-Spirit conference room at @NWAC_CA's headquarters, while the @YWCARegina are in Ottawa to advance the resilience of women, girls and gender-diverse+ people. #canpoli#skpoli

We're so pleased to see the wonderful attention The Slaight Family Foundation is receiving for its phenomenal investment in women and girls. YWCA Canada will be using their $2M gift to launch Canada's first national support fund for survivors escaping violence. 1/3

WATCH: @YWCARegina is looking to build a new centre for women and families. Global News Morning's @brandi_boxall learns more from CEO Melissa Coomber-Bendtsen about the proposed project.
A few of my MLA colleagues & I had the chance to complete the #Upstander Training at the @YWCARegina
We learned how to unpack harmful gender roles, develop emotional literacy and learn positive bystander intervention strategies
Thanks to Melissa, Tara and the staff!!
