Decolonizing Feminist Education To Change The World
Male Violence Against Women And Girls
Is An Urgent Global Issue
In Canada, men kill women and girls at alarming rates – a man murders a women or girl every other day.Globally, on average, more than 5 women or girls are killed every hour by a man in their own family.
Women’s Studies Online Charitable Foundation supports that work to empower women, end violence, and elevate the status of Indigenous women and girls across Canada.
