Canadian Council of Muslim Women (CCMW) Vancouver is hosting a talk on "Reducing Barriers for Survivors of Gender Based Violence"

About this Event

In Canada, a women is killed by her intimate partner every six days and Indigenous women are killed at six times the rate of non-Indigenous women.

More than 6000 women and children are forced to sleep in shelters on any given night because it is unsafe at home. During COVID-19, Canada witnessed violence against women plummet.

Women who were already vulnerable and isolated were at more risk than ever of experiencing violence for the first time or suffering from increased or more severe violence.

Canadians collectively spend 7.4 billion dollars each year to deal with the aftermath of spousal violence.

Ending Gender Based Violence can put an end to all this.

Dr. Shahnaz Rahman, the Executive Director of Surrey Women's Centre will talk about how barriers can be reduced for survivors of gender based violence to access services.
