While the names "Van Attack" & "Montreal Massacre" are easy to use/remember (we've also used them), they sanitize & minimize what really happened It wasn't vans or a city that were targeted & killed -it was women. And in both cases of mass #femicide , the main driver was #misogyny

The term "Domestic dispute" completely sanitizes the extreme violence this survivor has endured. It also obscures the fact that she could have been killed. Slashing a woman's neck is attempted #femicide - not a "domestic dispute". 1/4🧵

"Domestically-motivated homicide"? What does that even mean? Motivated by 'domestics'? How does that occur? Can we retire this term once and for all and call it what it is? #IntimatePartnerFemicide #CallItFemicide

Tania’s story matters. And so does the story of the child whose life was stolen. And so do the stories of all #childtrafficking survivors & victims. This is why we won’t - can’t - stop this work. Why we are permanently outraged. Tania, thank you for your courage & strength.

Just watched "How is Protection Against VAW/GBV an Internationally Protected Human Right?" and yelled in agreement the WHOLE time! #VAW is one of the most normalized & ignored #humanrights abuses on the planet! Thanks for this gift @DrAmandaDale1 @DeepaMattoo @YWCA_Canada More👇

This preventable #femicide case adds to the growing body of evidence pointing to prior histories of violence against women an an indicator of femicide/mass killings. Sending care & solidarity to the Ready family and hope they are surrounded by community.

Why were there so many available in the first place? This is a step in the right direction. Now, let's get #femicide recognized as a hate crime in Canada. #NovaScotia #Canada #misogyny

Feeling the collective swell of so many powerful campaigns in the VAW/GBV sector in Canada. It's remarkable. And it's also heavy. Reminding all those working in this space to take extra care these days. #16Days #GBV #IPV #VAW #femicide #MMIWG2S

Our grassroots research has shown that the Media is rarely used as a tool to end GBV. We have the opportunity to do that now Excited to start this work with @WAGE_FEGC & a rich group of GBV orgs, journalists & feminist change-makers. To get involved email Orlaith @aurafreedom .org
