What women really want is to have strong, healthy, and passionate change-makers as daughters, sisters, and friends. This year, Girls Action Foundation is proud to announce its sixth edition of the National Day of Action. On Valentine’s Day, let’s celebrate girls and young women across Canada who are taking action in their communities on the issues that matter to them.

2010-02-14 December 6th: A World Without Violence Starts With…?
Montreal, December 4th, 2009 A World Without Violence Starts With…? On December 6, we commemorate the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. The fact is that violence exists. Twenty years after the tragic deaths in Montreal, it is still a reality for our daughters, our mothers, our sisters and our grandmothers. In our families and communities, violence is often so common that it is considered normal. Yet this is only part of the story. Girls and young women are not only experiencing violence, they are also doing something about it. They are courageous and resilient and they are responding to violence in their lives and in their communities. Ending violence must start with empowering young women. It means finding solutions with girls and young women – and not for them. What are the strengths of young women? Can they imagine a world without violence? Watch our video to find out!

2009-11-30 Gender Matters: Girls Action Foundation research adds to call for inclusion of gender in mental healthIn 2003, the Senate Standing Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology published The Health of Canadians – The Federal Role, which studied the state of the Canadian health care system. While it addressed many important issues relating to mental health, it did not acknowledge the effects of gender on mental health. In response to this report, Girls Action Foundation has produced a paperentitled The need for a gender-sensitive approach to the mental health of young Canadians – a study that examines how the intersections of gender, poverty, racialization, Aboriginal status, and other factors can affect mental health, and provides recommendations and practices to promote mental health and well-being for girls and young women.
