Why is femicide on the rise in Canada?

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

Guest: Julie S. Lalonde, women's rights advocate and author of "Resilience is Futile" Did you know that there is a country in the world where one woman or girl is killed every two and a half days? That country is Canada. According to a report by the Canadian Femicide Observatory, Canada saw an increase in femicide from 2019 to 2020. The report also reveals that almost 100 girls and women were killed in the first half of 2021. Most were killed by men, an intimate partner or someone they knew. Today on "This Matters," women's rights advocate and author Julie S. Lalonde talks about how these disturbing numbers are linked to misogyny and what we need to do to help women at risk, before it's too late for them.
