It's so great to see a giant like New York state take the bar and throw it high in the air that other states (and Canada for that matter) can barely see it anymore. This is part of the Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence public awareness campaign asking parents, interestingly dads or men in a position of authority to the boys, to teach boys about respecting women. I love that men are being encouraged to join the fight to end violence against women. They're so often left out.
Where are the Canadian campaigns? The only thing I remember about December 6th this year was a notice that was sent through my school server that a woman had been sexually assaulted on campus. I'm sure there was a vigil somewhere or perhaps even a march, but the word about these things doesn't get much further than the women's center door it seems. We could be doing so much more. I could be doing so much more. And shit, I bet you could too.
