Another woman killed in #Canada. No name released, age 33. #CallItFemicide? Woman found dead inside Surrey home, homicide investigators called in bc.ctvnews.ca/woman-found-de…
Women who have a brain injury from repeated hits to the head and/or strangulation frequently miss out on their brain injury being diagnosed - this means they don’t receive treatment for issues such as cognitive problems, memory loss, communication problems. This must change.
Recovery after a brain injury (#BI) requires patience, compassion, and dedicated self-care. If the brain injury was recent, it's advisable to follow the “Return to Activity” guideline. Check it out at @cattonline: tinyurl.com/5ypckkvw #braininjury #concussion #healing

The author discusses the common obstacles abuse victims have when trying to find love.
Intimate partner violence (IPV) disproportionately effects queer and trans people! Our language must change to reflect the ways in which IPV permeates peoples lives regardless of gender identity and sexual orientation. #RestinPower #RiverNevaehGoddard #IPV

#IPV has reached epidemic proportions in Canada. The tragic murder of 5 family members allegedly by one of the victim's common-law partners has raised added concerns among experts. Read the full article here: tinyurl.com/mr3a4ubb
The only thing either party needs to know - and accept - is that the other person no longer wants to be in the relationship. That's it. That's all.

Our co-founder and executive director @Kmason10 wrote this in response to recent events - events that are replicated almost daily across this country, with too many women and gender diverse folx paying the ultimate price. #IPV #callitfemicide #preventionofviolenceagainstwomenweek
There is no time in the life cycle of a woman that she is not at risk of male violence. There is no place or space a woman is not at risk of male violence. That's why we need to #CallItFemicide. It recognizes violence women experience because they are women. #CallItFemicide
For Prevention of Violence Against Women Week, let’s talk about how we empower survivors by advocating for changes in policy and practice, and collaborating with survivors, and service providers to help identify gaps, and develop recommendations. Visit soarproject.ca
