Sexual violence is a form of gender-based violence rooted in gender inequality and injustice. It can happen between people in romantic relationships, in families, at work, and between friends and acquaintances and strangers. canadianwomen.org/the-facts/… #16Days

When women & children who've been subjected to domestic abuse end up living truly safe & free lives without on-going fear of their abusers, this is often in spite of all the systems that should be protecting abuse survivors, not because of them. Change is needed #16Days

No recourse to public means migrant women who are destitute or on very low incomes are not entitled to government benefits. Can you imagine how detrimental that is to migrant women trapped with an abuser? Support our call for change during #16Days 👉 lght.ly/lao5513
