Gender-based violence (GBV) is still far too common. Almost one in three women have faced gender-based violence at least once in their life.
Violence against women and girls happens in our workplaces, in our homes, and online.
The United Nations’ 2025 UNiTE campaign focuses on digital violence. Online threats and intimidation are growing, with the intent of silencing women’s voices in digital spaces.
Sixteen days of activism against GBV begins today and continues to International Human Rights Day, December 10. That time period spans Canada’s own National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women on December 6.
