Virtual event – Zoom
Monday, December 2, 2024, 11am – 1:30pm

The City of Winnipeg, Government of Manitoba, and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights invite you to attend a virtual panel discussion in recognition of:

• Transgender Day of Remembrance (November 20)

Gender based violence (GBV) is a violation of human rights that affects all communities. This violation of human rights affects people of all backgrounds, genders, and ages. Manitoba’s rate of GBV is higher than the national average. The rates are twice as high in rural and remote areas than in cities. GBV also disproportionally affects Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ peoples.

Join us for a panel discussion featuring local experts and leaders.
