🌈 On June 19th, we celebrated the LGBTQ+ community's achievements.. Our keynote speakers, Catherine May from @TheRedwoodTO and Jehan Chaudry, our IS Director, shared their lived experiences, wisdom, passion for advocacy, and commitment to inclusivity.

We are thankful to the Office of the President of the Slovak Republic for inviting us to present our work engaging men and boys in the prevention of gender-based violence. It was truly inspiring to share the space with other organizations doing excellent work in our communities💫

Women’s right to access and control over housing is a key determining factor to their safety. #IPV #GBV

Yesterday was Labour Day. I am proud of our government's investments in the local community. Like the $1.6 million in funding to @TheRedwoodTO for a project under the Union Training and Innovation Program.
Today, we recognize the historic contributions of the labour movement, and we celebrate its essential role in building a stronger country. And to all of Canada’s workers, who are some of the best in the world, we say thank you. Happy Labour Day, everyone! tinyurl.com/yc2br44a

Coercive control is behaviour by a current or former partner or family member that makes someone fear they will be harmed, causes their mental health to decline, or causes the victim such distress that their day-to-day activities are negatively affected. 1/5

📣 Women working in the informal economy often face violence and harassment due to precarious working conditions.
‼️ In fact, sex workers have the highest homicide rate of any group of women studied. –@UNODC
