Day 16 | Human Rights Day As we close the #16DaysOfActivism, we affirm that survivors of gender-based violence deserve justice, dignity, and the right to heal. Denying healing is denying justice. Let’s continue breaking barriers and upholding #HumanRights #EndGBV

Day 15 of #16Days of Activism Understanding the barriers immigrant and refugee women face is the first step toward dismantling them. Only then can we ensure safety, equity, and healing — because #HealingIsJustice. #EndGBV #OCASI #16DaysOfActivism

Day 12 of #16Days of Activism: Today, we observe the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. On this day 35 years ago, 14 women were killed at Polytechnique Montréal simply because they were women. #December6 #16Days #PolytechniqueMontréal #GBV
