Invest in women-centered housing. Violence is the leading cause of women's homelessness but too many women are forced to choose between safety & shelter due to a lack of affordable, appropriate, long-term housing. #16DaysofActivism #NoExcuse #InternationalHumanRightsDay #BCSTH

In 2022, the gov't of Canada released its National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence (NAP). Anti-violence experts created a “Roadmap” to keep it on track. To save lives, gov't needs to keep it a priority.

GBV must end. Canada even released a National Action Plan (NAP) to end it. But the NAP has a few problems- it's a plan w/out Action Steps, Timelines, Assigned Roles. For the plan to work we need to follow the Roadmap. nationalactionplan.com #16DaysofActivism #NoExcuse

Canada's National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence (NAP) doesn't say Femicide! If the NAP doesn't say Femicide then Canada isn't acknowledging that 150 murders of women in 2022 were related to their gender. #CallitFemicide #16DaysofActivism #NoExcuse #BCSTH

Invest in legal education and access for women. Legal education empowers women to understand their rights and how to access relief through the legal system that can protect them from violence. Find #BCSTH's Legal Toolkit @ bcsth.ca/wp-content/uploads/… #16DaysofActivism #NoExcuse
