Media has the power to shape conversations about violence in our communities. Use The Right Words provides the language and resources to report on #sexualviolence in ways that do not shame or blame survivors. loom.ly/fvzVb5s #supportsurvivors #media #language

OUSA is joining @OntUniv in urging @ONgov for increased #ONpse funding. The quality of students' education and their campus services are at risk. The time is now - we need a commitment from the province for greater investments. Read our joint statement:bit.ly/48T7xrd

Today we honour the memories of 14 women who were killed on this day in 1989 at École Polytechnique in Montreal simply because they were women. We must continue to oppose all forms of gender-based violence. Higher education is for everyone. #STEM is for everyone.

Gender-based violence impacts us all. Men & boys are key allies in preventing gender-based violence. It is important that men & boys are supported in developing healthy relationships. To learn more and access supports, visit: alberta.ca/gender-based-v… #16Days #GenderBasedViolence

The CAUS team had an excellent meeting with Minister of Justice @mickeyamery today, and really appreciated the chance to discuss efforts to end sexual and gender-based violence at post-secondaries! #Alberta #abpoli

CAUS leaders had a great time this evening chatting with @RajanJSaw and other elected officials. A big thank you to the @AbPostSec for hosting!
