Thank you to SACHA, the Hamilton WAWG, the YWCA Hamilton, and everyone who came to support me today no matter the length of time. Thank you also to the Crown Prosecutor Mike Larrett and the Judge From the bottom of my heart, thank you all! ✨️💜 ❤️ 🙏

As sexual assault centres and survivor advocates, we often hear the question: Why don’t sexual violence survivors report? The experience of "E.M." is a case in point of the reasons why sexual violence survivors do not report. 🔗 Read our statement at sexualassaultsupport.ca/whats-new-ocrc…

10 years since the TRC Calls to Action. Reflection means nothing without change. Honour the Calls. Demand action. #TRC #TRC10Years #ActNow #Reconciliation

WAWG has joined Anova's survivor-centred #WeBelieveSurvivors campaign launched in response to the ongoing Hockey Canada trial. We stand with survivors, support the frontline work, and amplify the shared commitment to justice. 💜 #SupportSurvivors #BelieveSurvivors #HamOnt

During the Hockey Canada trial, GBV organizations are uniting through the #WeBelieveSurvivors campaign, a survivor-centred, public education initiative pushing back against misinformation, and amplifies the work of those supporting survivors. Learn more: ow.ly/BXM350W3nzP

💡In our research study about reducing stigma, women shared stories of navigating confusing, inaccessible systems alone, often becoming hyper-independent to survive. A trauma-informed approach isn’t optional, it’s essential. 🔗Learn more: ow.ly/sOM250VU3AR #EndStigma

The court's verdict is not a measure of a survivor’s truth. Legal outcomes are shaped by systems that silence, discredit, and retraumatize survivors. To EM, you are not alone. The OCRCC stands in solidarity with you and all survivors of sexual violence. #WeBelieveSurvivors
