Recently, we announced $5.4 million to help community organizations advance gender equality across Nova Scotia.

Grassroots organizations in our community are working hard to end gender-based violence, and we must continue working with them to make this a reality.

These organizations are tackling gender-based violence and playing a key role in creating safe spaces for 2SLGBTQI+ people in Dartmouth—Cole Harbour and across the province.
