Sexual Violence Awareness Month
April is Sexual Violence Awareness Month in Manitoba. The Winnipeg Safe City Initiative and its stakeholders are committed to raising public awareness of sexual violence and fostering a culture of consent. We know that reducing and preventing sexual violence must involve everyone in our communities. We recognize the importance of our male allies who stand up against sexual violence and lead by example.
