This National Philanthropy Day while we recognize and celebrate all who are working towards a common goal of ending VAW and creating economic opportunities for women and girls, there is so much that still needs to be done. WTG’s call to action continues for partnerships.

Today WTG team is celebrating our donors, partners, supporters, volunteers, team members, and friends. Thank you for your support 💕💐  #KindnessMatters

Make Workplaces Safer For Women

Make workplaces safer for women. Check out the great resource for Employers – Domestic Violence at Work portal

The Domestic Violence at Work portal at University of Western Ontario, was created in partnership with the Government of Canada to help federally-regulated workplaces comply with new legislation (Bill C-65).  Bill C-65 recognizes that domestic violence is life-threatening, and that the workplace can be a life-saving support or haven for someone experiencing violence at home. By law, employers must provide training to all employees and have a domestic violence policy in place.
The Domestic Violence at Work portal houses free tools employers can use to comply with Bill C-65. This includes staff training, a workplace policy maker, and a tool to assess risk if an employee discloses domestic violence.
There has been an increase in reports of domestic violence during the Covid-19 pandemic, so it is urgent that workplaces comply.

Women’s History Month

Women That Give joins all celebrating Women’s History Month.

Did you know the government of Canada called October the Women’s History Month in 1992?   Women’s History Month includes International Day of the Girl on October 11 and Persons Day on October 18. This month, we celebrate all women and the impact they have had on our country. The courageous women and girls who are pioneers and have made an impact are celebrated in this month of October.

International Day of the Girl is a day that is dedicated to girls around the world in support of freedom from abuse, violence, and equal opportunities for education, health care, etc.
Person’s Day is an important day because in 1929, the definition of “persons” was changed to include women, and this has made a lot of changes for women, such as giving women the right to participate in politics and the right to vote.

Join us, as we remember all the achievements and the impacts women have had in our country as we celebrate gender quality. Thank you to the women, women-led organizations, allies who are shining a light on the achievements of the women through their work and commitments specifically under the current context of the pandemic.
