What does #AccelerateAction mean to you? When a woman decides to flee abuse, she is taking a very difficult first step. At Shelter Movers, we know our every action helps determine her ability to start anew — instead of having to start over. #IWD2025

Today is International Day of the Elimination of Violence Against Women and the beginning of 16 Days of Activism. As we consider the importance of the season, we must remember the many variables that stand against survivors of violence who want to change their lives.

When survivors take that courageous first step, Shelter Movers is there to support them. We had the honour of safely locating Mira last year. She was able to keep her belongings and access resources to rebuild her life.

According to the criminologist Jane Monckton Smith, leaving is one of the leading causes of femicide in the world. With that in mind, we must put a stop to the age-old question, “why don’t they leave?” Unfortunately for some, staying is a method of survival.

Leaving isn’t just a decision, it’s an act of immense bravery.
