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.
