War on Women, vol 3,

On any given day in Canada, more than 3,000 women (along with their 2,500 children) are living in an emergency shelter. And half of all women in Canada have experienced at least one incident of physical or sexual violence since the age of 16.  

Shelter from the Storm, a movement across Canada to end violence against women is challenging everyone to help these women and their children and overcome the greatest challenge of their lives and build a brighter future for our sisters, mothers, daughters, and friends.To this end, an event has been organized.....

About Canadian Women's Foundation
The Canadian Women's Foundation is Canada's public foundation for women and girls who empower women and girls in Canada to move out of violence, out of poverty and into confidence. Since 1991, they've invested in over 1,100 community programs across Canada, and are now one of the ten largest women's foundations in the world. Taking a positive approach to address root causes of the most critical issues facing women and girls, they study and share the best ways to create long-term change and bring community organizations together for training and to learn from each other with a special focus on building a community of women helping other women. Helping women creates safer families and communities, and a more prosperous society for all of us by investing in the power of women and the dreams of girls.
