Violence against women and girls is a pervasive problem worldwide that impacts everyone. November 25th is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Towards Women. Established by the United Nations, it is an effort to raise public awareness of the issue and hopefully bring about change towards a world free of gender-based violence.
The NWOWC is a non-profit, community-based feminist organization providing frontline advocacy, support and information to local and regional women experiencing violence, poverty, human rights concerns or problems with legal (family, criminal) or administrative systems. They work towards the prevention of gender-based violence, as well as economic justice and food security, by engaging women, local organizations, and the public in education, programming, and systemic advocacy. Since 2005, they have operated the Thunder Bay Good Food Box, a monthly food distribution program.
