Community members are invited to attend the event, which starts at noon Friday in front of Barrie’s city hall.
The shelter is inviting people to stand in solidarity with women and speak out against gender-based violence on this day., which runs throughout November. The annual awareness event is focused on showing women in the southern Ontario community who are trying to leave an abusive situation that they have support.
“We really want to inform the community that while we support the courage of women to leave abusive relationships, the courage of a woman is not enough. We need the support of the community. We need the community to be aware that there are many women and their children who are living in violence,” Teresa MacLennan, executive director of the shelter, told Global News earlier this month.
Why just women? Why not campaign to fight ALL violence?
How about DOING something to protect women instead of useless gestures that do nothing Actually prosecuting repeat violent offenders and putting them in ***MENs**** prison
