Safer Bars and Safer Artist Spaces Training

In 2015, we developed a program called Safer Bars and Spaces with the incredible folks involved at the Dandelion Initiative. Safer Bars and spaces has trained over 80+ bars, venues, restaurants and hospitality professionals to date. This program will always remain survivor-centric and survivor led, as it was from the beginning, and I am so proud to carry on this important work today.
We developed this program based on decades of living experience and frontline knowledge combined with evidence-based practices that help individuals and workplaces recognize, prevent and respond to gender-based violence. The impact of this program in Toronto and across Ontario was fundamental to creating small progress and policy change in nightlife safety and gender equity. And, today, gender-based violence continues to remain a serious problem that we all have the power to mitigate and disrupt.
