Reflecting on Canada’s evolving GBV landscape, this Special Event will explore how activists are using creative, accessible, collaborative, and multimedia approaches to challenge dominant narratives, amplify survivor voices, and mobilise audiences for social change.
This webinar will be collaboratively led by gender-based violence and critical media studies researcher Nicolette Little, author of From Red Dresses to Memory Stones: Multimedia Activism and Gender-Based Violence in Canada (2026), and artist-activist Jaime Black-Morsette, of the REDress Project.

- New movements in gender-based violence, particularly in relation to emerging technologies and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG)
- The creative, accessible, collaborative efforts of leading Canadian activists
- Activists’ experiences and current challenges in Canada, from both researcher and activist perspectives
