This Saturday marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and the start of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence. This annual, international campaign was started by activists in 1991 to call out and speak up on gender-based violence.

This week on rabble radio, rabble editor Nick Seebruch speaks with Andrea Gunraj, the vice president of public engagement at the Canadian Women's Foundation. The two discuss the ways gender-based violence shows up in Canada and what you can do to prevent it.

Gunraj has 20 years of experience in community-based program development and communications and a passion for innovative public education and non-profit leadership for social change. She is a trainer, public speaker, published author, and holds a Masters in Criminology from the University of Toronto.
