Today, on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, I called on all of my parliamentary colleagues to commit to defending the right of every person in this country and around the world to live free from violence. Let us choose courage over convenience. Let us act.
"Today is International Women’s Day - a time to celebrate all the remarkable advancements made by women and gender-diverse people across the world. Today, we recommit to the ongoing fight for gender equality and human rights for all women and gender-diverse people in Canada and across the globe."
