National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women

[Jodi LeBlanc]

On the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women, we pause to remember the 14 women who died tragically @polymtl in 1989 and the women and girls for whom gender-based violence is a daily reality.  #EndGBV #OurActionsMatter

Yesterday I saw examples of the campaign for 2019 being used in New Zealand.

These #unspoken rules put pressure on boys and young men to behave in certain ways and dismiss behaviours perceived as“unmanly”,  leading them to suppress their emotions and their individuality. This affects how our boys and young men feel about themselves, and how they treat others. It affects how they approach their relationships, and can lead them to act disrespectfully – even violently – toward their partners.
