Sexual Violence Prevention Month creates space for important conversations about consent, exploitation, prevention, and support for survivors.

When awareness campaigns fade, the realities of sexual violence and exploitation remain.

Real prevention happens during the other 11 months of the year in homes, classrooms, workplaces, faith communities, sports teams, and everyday conversations.

Awareness starts the conversation. Action is what creates change.

This update highlights key developments in Canadian legislation and growing public concern around online safety and protection from sexual exploitation. From Bill C-14 advancing through Senate review, to new proposed measures addressing gaps in the Criminal Code, and increasing calls from Canadians for urgent action on online child sexual abuse, there is meaningful movement taking place across the country.

We’re also celebrating an important milestone as Bill S-209 moves forward to the House of Commons, continuing its path through the legislative process.

Together, these updates reflect a growing national focus on strengthening protections, closing legal gaps, and ensuring safety and accountability in both online and offline spaces.

Defend Dignity honours the quiet, everyday care that shapes how children learn, grow, and stay safe in the world.

From early childhood to young adulthood, guidance, protection, and understanding play a vital role in building confidence, awareness, and resilience. Across girlhood, these moments remind us of the importance of starting early with care, education, and support.

We recognize and appreciate every motherly figure and caregiver who shows up with patience, love, and commitment at every stage.

Today, May 5, we recognize the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People ( ), also known as .

This day is a time to honour the lives of those who have been stolen and those who remain missing. It is also a time to stand in solidarity with their families, communities, and loved ones in the ongoing fight for justice.

The crisis of in Canada is urgent and disproportionate. The Assembly of First Nations reports that Indigenous women account for 16% of all female homicide victims and 11% of missing women, despite Indigenous people making up only 4.3% of Canada’s population.

We must continue to listen, learn, and act.
