COMMUNICARE - DisAbled Women's Network (DAWN) Canada

This post is based on DAWN-RAFH Canada’s statement delivered by National Director, Bonnie Brayton on December 6, 2011 in Montreal, QC in commemoration of the National Day of Action and Remembrance on Violence Against Women. More than 20 years after the massacre of 14 young women at l'École Polytechnique in Montreal, violence against women in Canada continues to be an on-going issue. For women with disabilities, it is even more intensified and occurs in a number of different forms. One of these is conjugal or spousal violence.
