4 Violence against women in Canada 67% of Canadians personally know a woman who has been physically or sexually abused Approximately every six days, a woman in Canada is killed by her current or former partner. Every year, up to 360,000 children in Canada witness domestic violence. FACTS Right now, more than 6,000 women and their children are staying in shelters because it’s not safe for them to be at home.

5 Canadian Women’s Foundation annual campaign to end violence against women  Canadian Women’s Foundation is Canada’s only national foundation for giving women and girls a chance for a better life  We empower women and girls to move out of poverty, out of violence and into confidence  Funds raised through the campaign support every shelter for abused women in the country (almost 450) and prevention programs that stop the violence  Move for Hope kicks off the annual campaign to end violence against women

The more funds you raise, the more impact you will have on creating safety for women and their children who’ve escaped violence  Customize your Fundraising Page! Take advantage of your personal web page – upload a picture, add personal message, and send out request for donations and you’ll be amazed at how quickly you’ll reach (and surpass!) your goal  Use easy online tools to manage donations and track your progress

10 Other ways to Fundraise & Support Move for Hope  Join an existing Team, set your own goal, and personalize your Fundraising Page  Donate to a colleague whose participating  Organize a corporate fundraising initiative to help reach your goal (eg: jeans day, 50/50 draws, raffles, etc)  Spread the word about Move for Hope to your network to encourage donations or sign up a team!  Put up a Team Recruitment Poster to generate awareness and excitement in the cafeteria, hallways or water cooler area  Volunteer at the event
