Toronto – November 16, 2018 – UFCW Canada is calling on all activists to take action from November 25 to December 10 to help eliminate gender-based violence. From November 25 – the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women to December 10 – International Human Rights Day, your tweets, Facebook posts, and participation on social media can help spread the word that gender-based violence is #NotOkay – ever!
Here’s how you can participate:
