Violence against women isn’t just unacceptable. It’s a violation of human rights.

November 25 is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

As a region, we stand firmly against all forms of violence, including those rooted in gender. Every person has the right to live safely, with dignity and respect.

The Wrapped in Courage flag will be raised in municipalities across Durham Region as a visible reminder to speak out, stand together and work toward a future where everyone can live free from violence.
