Tonight the #CNTower will shine in shades of Shelter Movers blue to commemorate #HumanRightsDay! The CN Tower's lighting will begin at sunset, becoming fully visible approximately 30 minutes later as the night sky darkens, and will run for the first 30 minutes of each hour!
13 years of hard work and dedication and she accomplished her goal of earning her black belt before she turned 16. Couldn’t be prouder of this kid ❤️

If we #CallitFemicide, we can contribute to the de-normalization of male violence against women and girls, too often framed as a private issue rather than public violence that has widespread, societal impacts.

At least 20 countries have already recognized #femicide as a distinct crime by amending their criminal codes or implementing special legislation.
#Canada must learn from these jurisdictions who are taking the lead in addressing and preventing femicide.

In the first 6 months of 2023.
What will next 6 months bring?
How much more loss before real action from our leaders?

The attack in a Gender Studies class at @UWaterloo is heart-wrenching and chilling.
Students, professors and staff deserve to feel safe and protected.
My thoughts are with those impacted and my gratitude is with the first responders.

As Pride month comes to a close, it is important to remember that sexual violence is not exclusively heteronormative. By creating safe spaces and promoting inclusivity, we can help ensure that all survivors receive the support and healing they deserve.
Courtney Waterfall retweeted
You can't just say "this is a safe space" and expect someone to who feels unsafe speaking up to magically feel safe.
It's not your words that create safety, it's your actions.
