In 2025, the number of women & girls killed in Canada has almost returned to pre-COVID levels. That is good news... ...but that remains a low bar for success. We have still lost 147 women & girls, killed mostly by men (90%). #CallItFemicide (1/2)

IWD on March 8 - a day to celebrate accomplishments in gender equality. "Violence against women, including femicide, is a global emergency. Around 50,000 women and girls worldwide were killed in 2024, most by family members," Volker Turk told UN in Geneva last month. Gender equality cannot be achieved in this environment - it is being eroded. That's why #Canada needs to #CallItFemicide. Sign petition at: lnkd.in/e5EKdWpT Listen to their stories at lnkd.in/eQpGCtQW 147 women and girls killed in 2025 will not celebrate IWD2026👇

10 people are reported dead in the Tumbler Ridge mass school shooting, including the suspect. If accurate, it would be the third deadliest shooting spree of modern times in Canada, trailing on Polytechnique in 1989 and the Nova Scotia shootings in 2020.

A mother crossed an ocean to save her daughter from FGM/C. Maryan Sheikh arrived in Canada & found dangerous silence. But she didn't stay quiet. She became one of Canada's loudest voices protecting girls at risk. Today, she's officially a Canadian citizen. Welcome home, Maryan.

Hi all. I’ve been in discussions with the Edmonton Remand Centre and want to launch a BOOK DRIVE. The goal is simple: give people inside access to other worlds and other lives. Stories by @StephenKing , Leo Tolstoy, J.R.R. Tolkien, Pearl S. Buck, @colleenhoover and everything in between. Books matter. Stories matter.

@cspotweet @demetriosnAB Recommendation to @demetriosnAB: taking time to listen to advocates and encouraging your gov't to restore the #DV death review panel would be one way to strengthen the system and the AB 10 yr strategy to end GBV.

It's a dark day in St. Albert after a mom and child are killed in an alleged case of domestic violence. Chatted with @demetriosnAB about his sister's loss at the hands of her estranged husband, how to fix the system and a special way he's honoured her. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/dem…

@cspotweet @demetriosnAB If @demetriosnAB is raising awareness by climbing a mountain, perhaps he could use air time to speak up about the dismantling of AB’s #DV death review panel. As Education Minister, I hope there is a convo about system-level issues to support work that prevents future deaths.

That latest #femicide in #Alberta, a province that quietly - sneakily? - dismantled its #DV death review panel. No, no problem there. #CallitFemicide Advocates worried about province's dismantling of domestic violence death review panel calgaryherald.com/news/local-new…

While we reflect and give at year-end, survivors fleeing abuse are focused on safety/survival. Gift cards provide immediate, practical support when needed most. Help us end the yr by showing survivors they are not alone. Donate/share by Dec 31. #SHADE4Survivors #GiftCards4SHADE
