3/? Intimate partner violence accounts for one-quarter of all police-reported crimes in Canada. Anyone who speaks publicly with such disdain about women and the struggle for equity (in rights and pay!) is not an ally to women or their children. #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth

5/? Saskatchewan and Manitoba record the highest rates of intimate partner violence https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/85-002-x/2013001/article/11805/11805-3-eng.htm #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth
6/? Approximately every 6 days, a woman in Canada is killed by her intimate partner https://canadianwomen.org/the-facts/gender-based-violence/ #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth
7/? So please don’t bother amplifying messages that promote violence against women (and their children). Instead support local domestic violence organizations like @willowplace1 and @BravestoneC #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth
8/? And please be someone who stands up for women (and their chided) living with domestic violence like Ravi. A kind, generous man and business owner going above and beyond to help #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth https://twitter.com/citynewswpg/status/1327119067795365888
9/? It never starts with a slap. It starts slowly. It starts with words of vitriol about women. It starts to make you feel powerless and scared. Language meant to demean, degrade, mock, or objectify women leads to VIOLENCE against women. #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth
10/10 I’m not interested in his explanation. There is never an excuse to demean, degrade, mock, or harm women. If you’re experiencing domestic violence, there is help. You are NOT alone. Resources in this thread.
