This year we will come together as a community, virtually, and honour the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. This day is not only an opportunity to reflect and honour the lost lives of 14 young women, but to also consider and take action against violence that people who identify as women in our communities face to this day.

The holidays are a time for connecting with those you care about. How can we support someone we love if they are struggling with trauma from sexual violence? Join us in a safer space to connect with other supporters and explore strategies to support the survivor(s) in your life

Situated within the values and frameworks of anti-racism, the session facilitated by Rania El Mugammar explores the historical foundation of anti-Black racism within Canada and its present day implications on Black communities.
