I was thinking of doing more than just condemn misogyny today on The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women (aka the anniversary of the Montreal Massacre).

Ideally I would have liked to donate to women’s groups, or women directly who have been victims of domestic violence, rape, etc.

Unfortunately at the moment my student loans are almost down to nothing, to the extent that I need to ration my money to afford food, so I can’t really do it now.

However I think it would be a good opportunity to share places that Canadians can donate to and help out women, and maybe next month when my student loans come back in I can donate some money to these groups too.

The very least I can do is give social media exposure for women and women’s groups that need help.

Please reblog this, and add your recommendations and I’ll be happy to share them.

The only one I’m personally aware of is Three Oaks.
