Haven Society is proud to be hosting two community consultation sessions this month and we hope you can join us! The agenda for the sessions will be focused on collecting your input into Canada’s National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence, as the Haven Society has received funding to organize community engagement sessions and provide input to the Department of Women and Gender Equality (WAGE) through YWCA Canada. https://endvaw.ca/national-action-plan-violence-women/ https://ywcacanada.ca/news/national-action-plan-to-end-gender-based-violence-community-engagement-initiative/
