"Addressing Gender Issues: Protecting Communities from Hate and Violence"

In the wake of the recent stabbings at the University of Waterloo, institutions and individuals need to take action to protect scholars and students whose work focuses on gender issues and LGBTQIA+ rights. This includes providing support and care for those affected, creating safe work and learning environments, addressing misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia, and engaging in public conversations to shift the culture towards celebrating gender diversity. It is crucial for everyone to be involved in this work and to stand in solidarity against hate.
