November is Woman Abuse Prevention Month across Ontario, and this year, our Wrapped in Courage campaign is focusing on one vital truth: Choice.

Everyone deserves the freedom to make decisions about their own life and future. Gender-based violence works by narrowing someone’s world, taking away options, and taking away control. True safety simply can’t exist without the power to choose your own path.

Throughout the month, we are focusing on the Choice—moving away from labels that define people by what happened to them, and leaning into words and actions that honour survivor autonomy. Choice means trusting survivors as the experts in their own journeys. It means ensuring our communities offer real, accessible pathways to safety—from secure housing and fair legal support to compassionate care and simply being believed.

When we protect and expand real choices, we open the door to real safety.

We invite you to join us, in partnership with the LEAF Sudbury Chapter, for the Sudbury book launch of "She Ran: The Media and the Public Response to Domestic Violence" by Sudbury-raised author Ann Rauhala in a fireside chat style with Judi Straughan.

She Ran tells the story of the murder of Ann's high school friend, Donna Evoy, by her ex-boyfriend on December 13, 1975, but it is also a deeper examination of how domestic violence has been perceived and discussed by the media and the public.
