turn anger into action: VOTE for Jane Does
One of the ways sexual assault policy has been a failure is the city’s lack of preparedness to the intimate violence during the world cup, seeing a 37.2% increase compared to last year’s period. This left volunteers at Battered Women Support Services to help the influx of calls from people reaching for support. Vancouver needs to do better. Reminder that if you live on campus you may not be able to vote for Mayor and council but you can for school board!!!

Lack of correlation with police funding and crime (including sexual assault) https://utppublishing.com/doi/full/10.3138/cpp.2022-050
It has been incredibly disheartening having people focus on calling for punishing of perps and hold zero aid for survivors while also not fighting rape culture irl.
This is a first try in making a media post type thing so bear with me, just wanted to share some calls to action.
