Several Canadian postsecondary institutions are taking part in the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence with campus events, campaigns, and educational resources. Brock University, George Brown Polytechnic, Saint Mary’s University, and Toronto Metropolitan University are hosting multi-day initiatives such as panels, wellness sessions, daily learning challenges, and donation drives. Meanwhile, Nova Scotia Community College and Camosun College are engaging their communities through curated library displays and online guides that share educational, creative, and activist resources focused on gender-based violence. The events and initiatives that institutions are holding this year frequently emphasize digital safety, intersectionality, and the importance of sustained advocacy to support survivors and challenge stigma. These institutions are also commemorating December 6—the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women—through memorials, education, or reflection spaces.
