Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is a serious issue in

Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is a serious issue in Canada, and it affects people across all communities:
- 1 in 3 women in Canada will experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime.
- Indigenous women and girls face violence at disproportionately high rates, with homicide rates more than 4 times higher than non-Indigenous women.
- On average, every 6 days, a woman in Canada is killed by her intimate partner.
- More than 60% of women in Canada report experiencing street harassment.
- The majority of gender-based violence goes unreported, with survivors often facing barriers to seeking help due to fear, shame, or lack of resources. During the 16 Days of Activism Against GBV, wear a purple ribbon to raise awareness and foster dialogue about the reality of GBV in Canada.

What is GBV? Gender-based violence is any violent

What is GBV? Gender-based violence is any violent act committed against a person on the basis of their gender. The official definition by the UN is: “”any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual, or harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion, or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life.”” While GBV can occur against men, it more commonly affects women and children, and also causes severe harm to families and communities.”

The International Day for the Elimination of Viole

The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women marks the beginning of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence (GBV) campaign. Canada’s theme for this year, Come Together - Act Now, emphasizes how crucial it is to involve everyone in Canada – particularly men and boys – in changing social norms, attitudes and behaviours that contribute to GBV. It is also a call to action urging all of us to recognize the signs of GBV and to reach out for support, for ourselves or loved ones. By mobilizing individuals and organizations, this campaign aims to drive systemic change, advocate for policy improvements, and foster a culture of respect and safety for all. It serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing need to address and prevent GBV in Canadian society, and locally in Edmonton.
