Please read the following statement from Elizabeth May, MP for Saanich–Gulf Islands and Leader of the Green Party of Canada, recognising the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women:
“Around the world, a woman is killed in an act of gender-based violence every ten minutes. The final report of the Canada-Nova Scotia Mass Casualty Commission found that gender-based and intimate partner violence is “ubiquitous and underreported in Canada.” Let’s unite and break the cycle of gender-based violence. We must re-commit to ALL the Calls for Justice of the #MMIWG2s+ Inquiry NOW #NoExcuse”
