On World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, we recognize the importance of raising awareness, supporting survivors, and strengthening efforts to prevent human trafficking in all its forms.

Every person deserves to live free from exploitation and abuse.

Did you know? Gender-based violence (GBV) affects millions of people worldwide, with women and girls disproportionately impacted. Behind every statistic is a person, a family, and a community affected by violence.

Here are some important facts that highlight the scope of the issue:

➡️ 1 in 3 women worldwide experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime.
➡️ Many survivors never report their experiences due to fear, stigma, concerns for their safety, or lack of access to support services.
➡️ Gender-based violence can affect anyone, regardless of age, culture, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or background.
➡️ Awareness, education, and community support play a critical role in preventing violence, supporting survivors, and creating lasting change.

By understanding the realities of GBV, we can help break the silence, challenge harmful attitudes, and build safer, more inclusive communities for everyone.

Together, we can be part of the solution.

Research Spotlight: Exposing an Invisible Crisis

The newly released Exposing an Invisible Crisis: Environmental Scan highlights the often-overlooked impact of partner-inflicted traumatic brain injuries and maps services across Manitoba that support survivors of intimate partner violence.

By identifying key organizations and gaps in care, this work raises awareness and helps inform more coordinated, integrated support pathways for survivors.

*Before exploring the scan, check out the “how to use guide.”

Brain Injury Awareness & Pride Month remind us that visibility, inclusion, and care must extend to everyone — including 2SLGBTQQIA+ survivors of intimate partner violence.

RESOLVE Manitoba’s new resource, developed as part of the Exposing an Invisible Crisis research project, highlights how survivors in 2SLGBTQQIA+ communities face unique barriers, and how experiences of violence can include traumatic brain injuries that often go unseen and unsupported.

🧠 Brain Injury Awareness Month

This month, we focus on building awareness, breaking down stigma, and strengthening support for people living with brain injury.

RESOLVE Manitoba’s Exposing an Invisible Crisis project is bringing much‑needed attention to a critical and often overlooked issue: the link between intimate partner violence and traumatic brain injury.

Recognizing brain injury as a consequence of violence is an essential step toward creating more compassionate, informed, and effective systems of care.
