In 2021, I had the great honour of supporting @THANS_NS @SpiderVideo and @Podstarterio to shine a light on the lack of awareness that exists around domestic violence. This is a good time to amplify these stories shared directly from survivors in NS.

Due to the storm, some NSLA Offices are closed or will have delayed opening. If you have court, contact your lawyer and/or the court to see if your matter is going ahead. Contact your NSLA Office to ensure it is open before attempting to attend at the office for an appointment.

Violence affects women at every stage of their lives. More than 1 in 3 women experience gender-based violence during their lifetime.
What steps can you take to end gender-based violence in your community?

Achieving gender equality means eradicating all forms of discrimination against women and girls and removing barriers that prevent women from fully realizing their rights and freedom.
