At the Northwestern Ontario Women’s Centre, we believe survivors of sexual violence.
We are partnering with Faye Peterson House to offer a 6-part sexual violence education series. Sessions are open to self-identified women and girls (ages 18+) and will take place once a month from 6:30-8 pm at the Northwestern Ontario Women’s Centre (278 Bay St, Suite #201).
Join us on Wednesday, December 3rd for our next monthly sexual violence education session: Sexual Violence/Harassment in the Workplace, where we will discuss employment rights, legal options, and supports. We are excited to have two guest speakers for this session: Kristy Keough – Staff Lawyer at Kinna-aweya Legal Clinic & Jill Hewgill – Paralegal at Algoma Community Legal Clinic. Both guests are part of the SHAPE Program (Sexual Harassment | Advice | Prevention | Education), which provides free public legal information and summary legal advice to workers experiencing workplace sexual harassment.
Attendance at all sessions is not required. Bus tickets and light refreshments provided.
