📊 The Reality of GBV in Canada

⠀

GBV is rooted in gender inequality and intensified by systemic injustices such as racism, ableism, sexism, and poverty. It disproportionately affects:

- Women and girls

- Indigenous women and girls

- Black and racialized women

- Immigrant and refugee women

- Women with disabilities

- 2SLGBTQI+ individuals

- Women in rural and remote communities

⠀

🌍 Why It Matters

⠀

The impacts of GBV are severe:

- Long-lasting health, social, and economic consequences.

- Intergenerational cycles of trauma and abuse.

- GBV robs individuals of safety, opportunity, and dignity.

⠀

💜 What Can We Do?

- Advocate for gender equality and equity.

- Support victims, survivors, and their families.

- Educate ourselves and our communities about the roots of GBV.

- Raise awareness about the systemic inequalities that perpetuate violence.
