“Step it Up!” is our message from women to the Province of Ontario. We want better, faster government action to end violence against women.

All governments say they care, but they don’t often show it with effective action. Governments have either given small, unpredictable resources to under-funded women’s and equality-seeking organizations or have expected more and more financial support to come from private citizens. Organizations and services are grateful for the crumbs they get to work with women and children who are victimized, but it’s not enough.

No government has so far created a broad strategy that would get beyond a narrow view to the big-picture things all women and children need to end male violence. Women have the vision that could make a difference, and we want government to act on it. We’re tired of waiting!
