GBV Flag Raising at Toronto City Hall
About this Event
Join Aura Freedom, Women's Habitat of Etobicoke and YWCA Toronto as we co-host the Wrapped in Courage Flag Raising event at Toronto City Hall! 💜
Let's raise our voices together on Nov 25, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST to end Intimate Partner and Gender-Based Violence in our communities. We invite you to come together in person to celebrate the courage and strength of survivors of Gender-Based Violence - and all those who walk beside them. All advocates, survivors, community members and allies are welcome.
As organizations dedicated to eradicating gender-based violence and supporting victims and survivors, Aura Freedom, Women's Habitat and YWCA Toronto are proud to participate in OAITH's annual Wrapped in Courage campaign, which commemorates Woman Abuse Prevention Month and kicks off the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.
Security check is required. We encourage you to wear a purple scarf to mark this occasion.
As we continue our collective work to address the epidemic of GBV in the face of rising misogyny, it has never been more important to break the silence and stand together in solidarity against the increasing rates of femicide and violence against women, girls, and gender-diverse people in our communities.
This event will take place rain or shine, so wear your hooded raincoats and bring your umbrellas!
Stay tuned for more updates as the event develops.
