Every year on Dec. 6, we remember the women whose lives were stolen by violence and we recommit to building a future where every woman and girl is safe, valued and free. Remembrance must be matched with action because mourning without change is not enough.

Today, we remember women hurt or killed by cowardly violence and stand with survivors and their loved ones.
As the 16 Days of Activism begins, we recommit to preventing violence, strengthening supports, and doing the work so every woman in our province feels safe.

Content warning - Gender-based violence
Gender-based violence disproportionately impacts women, girls, and gender-diverse people, especially Indigenous women and other marginalized communities. It is preventable but only if we act.
