AN EVENING OF RESISTANCE
Because DEPORTATION IS VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women
6pm Registration\, 6\:30-8\:30pm

Speakers\, Theatre\, Poetry\, Music and more...
Every year\, tens of thousands of women and trans-people travel across borders and check-points\, empty their savings and make the difficult journey to Canada\, leaving behind homes\, families and sometimes children in search of safety. For economic security. For refuge. Often entering a system of temporary\, exploitative work. Live-In Care-Givers and other migrant workers are being treated like disposable commodities by Canada. Women fighting back against violence are being denied status. Working for years. Unable to bring their families. Unable to unionize.
Enraged by this treatment and inspired by the victories of the DADT campaign in Toronto schools\, the Women's Movement has risen up to demand Status for All. Shelters have opened their doors further to non-status women. Rape/Trauma Crisis Centres\, Group Counseling Homes\, Anti-VAW Shelters\, Agencies and Community Organizations have organized to provide basic and essential support services to survivors of violence while mobilizing and advocating for a full regularization program.
