From November 25th (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) until December 10th (Human Rights Day) is the Global 16 Days of Activism against Gender Based Violence and VOW will be posting informational posts on social media throughout the 16 days. The posts will cover a variety of topics from violence against women in Canada, to violence against Indigenous women and gender based violence in the workplace. Another area of concern is the violent impact militarization has on women as governments are spending more money on military spending, which could potentially cause adverse impacts to women by escalating conflicts.
Towards the end of the 16 days we will focus on some action steps individuals can take to help end gender based violence.
