'Access to friends and family has also been cut off, she said, leaving victims with fewer options.

Call volumes spiked almost immediately when swaths of Canada first locked down, Harding said.

Between April 1 and Sept. 30, the centre received 51,299 calls, compared to 24,010 in the same time in 2019.

“Everything closed overnight, and our crisis lines lit up,” she said.

“We saw a range of calls. We saw those who were feeling immediately threatened because their situation had escalated, and we saw those for whom fears were kicking in, because things were starting to change and they were used to being able to access community supports in person that were no longer available to them.”

This is beyond egoism or narcissism this is straight up animal behaviour that men do everyday around the world because their bruised egos cannot handle rejection. This is the reason women are afraid to walk alone and it should not have to be like that. Fear should not be a norm. Raise your sons to respect and protect women don't raise your daughters to be more careful around men. It shouldn't have to be that way.

Many women choose to stay with their abusers because they feel they cannot stay financially stable on their own. Our organization wants to empower women financially as well by offering jobs and courses on finance management.

We intend to partner with social institutions, like religious houses, community centers and social clubs to reach out to families and educate them on the importance of teaching children about gender equality. Furthermore, this will encourage parents to treat their male and female children equally, with each child habitually practicing equality. Teaching young boys and girls at an early age that, both male and female gender are equal, is very important. For instance, a couple with a male and female child, can divide house chores equally between their children,  without labelling domestic responsibilities using gender. Next, the couple must continuously teach their son to respect his sister. In this way, he develops an awareness to always respect girls and women within and outside his home.]]> 2021-04-15 03:17:50 UTC https://padlet.com/moshirsevil/Bookmarks/wish/1419358478 Speak Up!

Our  BeAction website will  address domestic violence, using creative incentives like, lucky numbers, to win consolation prizes. This initiative will also have several links to our social media handles, that cajoles the user to advocate on behalf of  abused women who are silenced. Users can add their names on the page, which gives a brief summary  of a call to action, to the government, to build legislations that protect abused women. Overtime, the database would be collated and sent to the government, with participant names attached. We believe this will bring some change and the government will take action.]]> 2021-04-15 03:20:46 UTC https://padlet.com/moshirsevil/Bookmarks/wish/1419364995 BeAction Woman Ambassador Initiative jmgbolu https://padlet.com/moshirsevil/Bookmarks/wish/1419371953 JOYCE MGBOLU

The BeAction Woman Ambassador Initiative is for women, who survived domestic violence and have become self-sufficient. As a BeAction ambassador, she will educate women on the signs of abuse and their rights as women. Our goal for this initiative is to empower women, who want to retell their stories to spread awareness. We intend to partner with not for profit organizations like the Canadian Women's Foundation to support our BeAction ambassadors program. https://canadianwomen.org/out-of-violence/. Training will be facilitated to help the BeAction ambassadors on public speaking and excellent communication skills, to help with a smooth transition into advocacy.  People would naturally incline to others that share same experiences with them; therefore, abused women will likely listen to someone that shares in their pain, as they are in sync with one another. ]]> 2021-04-15 03:23:57 UTC https://padlet.com/moshirsevil/Bookmarks/wish/1419371953 BeAction Express It jmgbolu https://padlet.com/moshirsevil/Bookmarks/wish/1419535921 Joyce Mgbolu
One of our goal is to create workshops that will address domestic violence in prisons. We have plans rolling, to partner with The Salvation Army through their prisons ministry, as a start up. https://salvationarmy.ca/what-we-do/in-your-community/social-services/prison/. This way, we will understudy the process, and then go on to create our own reform system, which is the BeAction Express It Club, specifically for the prison systems, that will teach empathy through dance, arts and story telling. The plan is, to follow up the whole process and ensure there is a progression and change in the abuser's thinking on domestic violence. BeAction believes that once abusers come to see reasons why their actions, caused harm, the tendency to become sober, is likely. These activities will be expressive and allow for reflection. BeAction aims to encourage inmates to, re-evaluate, rethink and change their outlook to life, and how they see and value women. The inmates take charge of their expressive arts. Facilitators will be on ground to provide resources and guide partakers in this therapeutic activity. The activities will be available Tuesdays and Fridays, for 45 minutes. Prison wardens will give directives for fliers and posters to be pasted within public places in the building to advertise the program. The club will admit  10 inmates per session for a start, to control the crowd. Overtime, as we progress, there will be an increase in capacity. Funding will be sourced from donations, crowd funding and government grants.]]> 2021-04-15 04:58:05 UTC https://padlet.com/moshirsevil/Bookmarks/wish/1419535921 Break the Silence jmgbolu https://padlet.com/moshirsevil/Bookmarks/wish/1419817271 Joyce Mgbolu

But do we realize how many lives could have been spared if we stayed back to help the women we witnessed being abused. When a life is on the line minding your business doesn't matter. If you see a woman being abused no matter what form it's in, reach out to her, help her find resources, Befriend her, Comfort her, call the police if need be, BeAction. Please don't mind your business. You would want someone to do it for you don't wait till its too late.
