Making a Bigger Wave to End Women Abuse
The Grey Bruce Domestic Violence Coordinating Committee is part of a collation of coordinating committees in the southwest region. The report Making a Bigger Wave to End Women Abuse outlines a Communication Strategy for the southwest region to engage all citizens in building safe and strong communities. The report outlines a common vision to guide the work, goals and strategies to engage citizens in addressing woman abuse. It also includes some practical suggestions on how we can work together within the southwest region with common messages and strategies that will "make a bigger wave" and help to make ending woman abuse a mainstream issue in our communities.
