Women and girls are the most vulnerable people around the world. They represent up to 70 percent of the people living in poverty. One billion women will be victims of violence in their lifetimes.
Violence is both a cause and effect of poverty. It leaves physical and emotional scars. Moreover, all violence against women and girls, including female genital mutilation and rape, are unacceptable violations of human rights.
Sign the petition to call upon the Government of Canada to bring domestic and international attention to the issue of violence against women and girls and to make ending such violence a worldwide priority.
