At Harmony House, we advocate for women. Speak out against violence against women. Here are some ideas to advocate:
- Talk to your municipal, provincial, and federal politicians about what they will do to end violence against women. Let them know that this is important to you.
- Write letters to the editor about issues related to womens’ equality and violence against women.
- Talk to your friends and family about these issues.
- Take a stand. Vocalize it.
- Support your local women’s shelter, sexual assault support center, and rape crisis centre.
- We would love to have your help putting us out of business because we are no longer needed.
And share these special public service announcements (PSA) with your family and friends. Ed Broadbent, David Suzuki, Senator Vern White, Chris Philips, Alex Munter, and other prominent Canadian men participated in this project to speak out against violence towards women.
