When the NAP was agreed upon by the federal and provincial governments we received it with cautious optimism but had many questions - mostly about the role of civil society, accountability and independent oversight. The 1st report is out and we still have questions www.canada.ca/en/women-gen...

In absolute awe of the strength and resolve of Gisèle Pelicot. Enough with the shame and stigma associated with being a survivor of rape and any form of GBV. Justice is possible, but we need culture change - in the media, in court systems. Let this case be a turning point www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7415595
Gisèle Pelicot wanted us to know her name. These are the names of the men convicted in her rape

45 Governments (including Canada) have ratified the ILO Convention on Violence and Harassment. That's a great start, but for workers to truly realize the right to work free from violence and harassment, we need governments, employers and unions to work together to implement the convention. #16Days
