Gender-Based Violence: It’s Not Just

As part of the Government of Canada’s It’s Time: Canada’s Strategy to Prevent and Address Gender-Based Violence, It’s Not Just is a national youth campaign to raise awareness of, and help put an end to, gender-based violence (GBV).

The campaign is run by Women and Gender Equality Canada, and aims to teach youth and young adults how GBV works and where they can go to learn more and get help.
