WE CAN Campaign

http://www.wecanbc.ca/
Despite successful actions by women’s organizations over the past three decades, the scale and severity of discrimination and violence against women is rising – even in Canada and British Columbia. Violence against women is both a violation of human rights and an impediment to achieving gender equality. Yet, in many communities in BC, violence against women is accepted as ‘normal behavior’ and women are left to suffer in silence.

We Can BC is an alliance of BC-based organizations and individuals from diverse communities who are committed to a long-term and sustained process of changing customs and attitudes that perpetuate violence against women.
