20 Days - 20 Ways to end violence against women

20 Days - 20 Ways to end violence against women

Send a postcard a day to the Prime Minister to remind him that for 20 years women have been waiting for action. Each year, women across the country commemorate the fourteen young women who were killed on December 6, 1989, at the École Polytechnique in Montreal and all the other women who have died as a result of male violence.

Twenty years is too long. Government attention to violence against women is long overdue. A law and order agenda is not the answer. Women need economic and social security to be safe at home, at work and in our communities. We need support for women's services and equality. Now is the time for action.

On November 16th, send the 1st of 20 postcards to the Prime Minister from our action centre.
