Thank You to Our Partners and Contributors
We would like to acknowledge all of the frontline workers, grassroots organizers, activists, and survivors who contributed to Relentless Resilience with brilliant and passionate interviews and consultations. We respectfully and gratefully acknowledge all of your beautiful work to support women, girls and gender diverse peoples in Canada.
The Relentless Resilience campaign is by no means a complete look at every grassroots organization in Canada working tirelessly to end gender-based violence. On the contrary, it is the tip of the iceberg.
