oday, December 6 is The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. A day to remember those who have experienced gender-based violence and those who we have lost to it. On this day, we are sharing a heartfelt message from Maryam Monsef Maryam Monsef, founding Chair of Women United in Peterborough.
Today is also a time to take action. Achieving a Canada free from gender-based violence requires everyone living in this country to educate themselves and their families and communities on gender-based violence, centre the voices of survivors in our actions and speak up against harmful behaviours.
