"One woman or girl is killed every two and a half days in Canada."
"the rates of domestic violence have risen by an estimated 20 to 30 per cent during the pandemic"

This is at the heart of One Spark's work: women should never have to stay in a violent relationship because they can't afford to leave. https://t.co/UbeLB09cxh #endviolenceagainstwomen#vaw#onespark#WomeninBusiness
