On the Frontline 24/7

Video/Digital & Social Media

2021

2021 has been one of the most deadly years for women and girls. With social isolation and limited access to services, abusive partners have more power than ever. Technology is being misused to become another tool for abusive partners to exert control. Technology has also helped front line workers and volunteers respond requests for support through Crisis Lines, phone call, email, and text messages.

For Prevention of Violence Against Women Week April 11-17 2021, we created this PSA to raise awareness and share best practices for online safety.

2020

As COVID-19 continued to strain the health system, rising cases of domestic violence put women and their children in immediate danger. The UN reported that critical services to support women such as shelters, helplines, and support centres reached capacity.

We created this public service announcement (PSA) to highlight the COVID-19 Shadow Pandemic on November 25 to mark the first day of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence.

For thousands of women and their children across Canada there is no “Home Sweet Home”.

Every week a woman in Canada is killed by her intimate partner.

Five children in every Canadian school classroom have witnessed their mother being assaulted by their father or father-figure.
