Launching Our Ending Gender-Based Violence Toolkit
Our Ending GBV Toolkit is an online training program funded by Women and Gender Equality Canada, aimed at equipping organizations who serve women with the necessary tools to address safety, security, and privacy risks associated with digital gender-based violence services. The toolkit offers courses, resources, sample policies, and a digital forum, empowering service providers to deliver their services with heightened awareness and effectiveness. The official launch of this toolkit will take place during this event.

The showcase will feature service provider exhibits, interactive workshops, and opportunities to connect with fellow community members. Stay tuned for updates on our event page to learn more about the diverse service providers featured at the event.
