equality and remove them-
selves from abusive situations?
Proposed and actual provincial
cuts (our tax dollars) to
women's crucial programs and
services will have potentially
severe impacts on each and
every women's life. The tar-
geted cuts include: shelters and
rape crisis centres, reversal of
the employment equity act; the
roll -back of pay equity policies,
implementation of health care
user fees, child care, subsidized
housing...and the list grows
every day!
Nine thousand women sought
safe shelter in 1993 in Ontario.
Where will you, your mother,
sister, aunt, niece or friend go
if government cuts close
shelters?
Feminist centres providing
free, confidential and quality
counselling and support are
required in every community in
this province. It is our right to
live free of violence. To have
this freedom we must first have
our fundamental rights of
adequate and appropriate food,
clothing and shelter. Take Back
The Night, and demand our
rights!
