CFUW stands in solidarity with the Tumbler Ridge community, and all with British Columbians and Canadians who are in mourning during this heartbreaking time.

CFUW stands in solidarity with the Tumbler Ridge community, with British Columbia, and with all Canadians who are in mourning following news of a tragic shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary school. We commend the resilience of the emergency service workers, teachers, staff and residents of Tumbler Ridge, and thank them for all their work.

CFUW is deeply invested in public education, and we are devastated that violence affected students at their place of learning. Every student in Canada deserves to feel safe and be free from harm in their pursuit of learning.

We encourage our members to stand in support of all those affected. Acts of violence of this scale leave long-lasting impacts on the communities they occur in. CFUW affirms the need for mental health care and the availability of mental health resources.

La FCFDU manifeste sa solidarité envers la communauté de Tumbler Ridge, la Colombie-Britannique et tous les Canadien/ne/s qui sont en deuil à la suite de la fusillade tragique survenue dans une école secondaire. Nous saluons la résilience des intervenant/es des services d'urgence, des enseignantes et enseignants, du personnel et des résident/es de Tumbler Ridge, et nous les remercions pour tout leur travail.

La FCFDU est profondément engagée dans l'éducation publique, et nous sommes dévastés que la violence ait touché des élèves dans leur lieu d'apprentissage. Tous les élèves du Canada méritent de se sentir en sécurité et à l'abri de tout danger dans leur quête d'apprentissage.

Nous encourageons nos membres à soutenir toutes les personnes touchées. Les actes de violence de cette ampleur ont des répercussions durables sur les communautés où ils se produisent. La FCFDU affirme la nécessité de soins de santé mentale et de la disponibilité de ressources en santé mentale.

16 Days of Activism: Day 8 - Violence against women is a men's issue

Between 2011 and 2021, police reported 1,125 gender-related homicides of women and girls in Canada. Of these homicides, 93% were committed by a male intimate partner or family member of the victim. Nearly half of victims of intimate partner violence live with the accused at the time of the incident. In 2019, 80% of people who had experienced IPV (intimate partner violence) did not report it to the police. The statistics speak for themselves – men are the perpetrators of violence against women, and women are often too afraid to report it.

We need to change the conversation. We need to hold men accountable for their actions. Men need to hold men accountable for their actions. We need to end violence against women.

Are you in an abusive relationship? Are you perpetrating abusive behaviour? While domestic violence and abuse are sometimes hidden, if we know the signs of an abusive relationship, we may be able to recognize it better and seek or offer help.

There is for online abuse, and yet it is exploding 💥

During the of Activism, we’re calling it what it is: violence against women and girls.

From unwanted DMs and password pressure to trolling and deepfakes that sexualize women, online abuse starts small and escalates fast.

The impact is real: fear, emotional harm, lost opportunities, and shattered safety — online and offline.
