"Canadians are the most polite people on earth, and we're being too polite about violence against women! We need to make a whole lot more noise before things will change."

Mary Billy, Speak-Out participant,
Author of Facing the Horror: The Femicide List

Front line workers, writers, filmmakers and feminist activists speak out against violence against women. These stand-up speak-outs take place mostly on the West Coast, but also include a handful of activists from across Canada. Speakers give us a snapshot sense of the denial of violence against women in our society and offer suggestions for positive social change.
