When we think about gender-based violence, we tend to think about physical abuse. But there are hidden forms of violence, including manipulation, control, name-calling, gaslighting, and isolation, that often go unaddressed. This week, we're chatting with Anuradha Dugal and Jacqueline Hall about what emotional abuse looks like in the COVID-19 pandemic, and what we can do about it. 

In times of crisis, inequality grows and vulnerable communities can be left behind. That's why the Canadian Women’s Foundation and The Body Shop Canada are teaming up during the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence (Nov. 25 to Dec. 10) to #ActTogether and encourage people to take action on gender-based violence in Canada.

We’re working on bringing you a second season, and we’re so excited about it. But for now, we have some pressing new data we need to share with you.

We’ve spent four episodes breaking down just how deeply COVID-19 is impacting women, and particularly low-income, racialized, and gender-diverse folks.

This week we're talking about the Me Too Movement, workplace harassment during the pandemic, and what we can do to end it for good. Join us as we discuss the climate surrounding sexual violence in Canada with our own Keetha Mercer and Michelle Squires.

This week, we're talking about how the pandemic has impacted the women's sector, and the future of gender equality in Canada. Join us in conversation with Pamela Uppal, a Policy Director with the Ontario Nonprofit Network, and our own Anuradha Dugal. 

We know that the social isolation measures necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic are making it more difficult for those who are at risk of abuse or violence to safely reach out for help. In this episode, we're talking about gender-based violence during COVID-19 with our own Keetha Mercer and Jacqueline Hall. Join us as we dig into the numbers and envision solutions. 

In this episode we're talking all about child care, work, and the gendered impacts of COVID-19 with our own Karen Campbell and Ann Decter. Join us as we uncover why women in the workforce are being disproportionately impacted by the pandemic, and what policies or actions would need to be in place at work and at home for a truly gender-equal workforce to be achieved.
