Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, kicking off #16Days of Activism. 71% of human trafficking victims worldwide are... women and girls. Every 6 days a woman in Canada is killed by her current or former intimate partner. 1 in 3 women in Ontario will experience intimate partner violence. On average, Halton Regional Police Service respond to 9 intimate partner violence calls a day. It's happening globally. It's happening nationally. It's happening provincially. It's happening HERE. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, ALL types of violence against women and girls, and particularly domestic violence, has intensified. Time to support & empower survivors. Time to speak up. Time to #EndVAW. haltonwomensplace.com/make-a-donation
