During crises like this pandemic, women face increased risk of violence, loss of livelihoods, and other threats. Now, more than ever, we need to support and loo...k out for people experiencing gender-based violence, even as we keep apart. Here are six ways you can take action to make BC a safer, fairer, and more equal place for everyone. 1. Support and believe survivors. Believing people when they talk about their experiences shows your friends and family you can be trusted to support them. 2. Learn the signs of abuse and how to help. People in BC experiencing violence can access VictimLink, a toll-free, confidential multilingual service available 24/7 by calling or texting 1-800-563-0808 or emailing [email protected] 3. Understand and practice consent. Consent is the basis of healthy and respectful relationships, whether or not they involve sex. 4. Learn to recognize sexism and transphobia. Stereotypes like "boys don't cry" can harm people and keep them from getting help. 5. Reject victim-blaming. It doesn’t matter what you wear or where you are: everyone deserves safety from violence. 6. Start conversations with friends and family. Often people are afraid to talk about negative things that happen. Talking openly about gender-based violence can help people realize that they are not alone and that help is available.
