Revendication
La Coalition d’Ottawa contre la violence faite aux femmes (COCVFF) travaille à prévenir et contrer la violence fondée sur le genre partout où elle le peut, ce qui implique d’abord de mettre cette violence en lumière dans les différents aspects de la vie quotidienne en appliquant une grille d’analyse conçue spécialement dans ce but. Nous reconnaissons l’intersectionnalité des diverses formes d’oppression contre lesquelles nous luttons. Nous nous engageons à défendre le droit des survivantes de violence genrée et de toute personne marginalisée ou opprimée à la justice sociale, ainsi qu’à promouvoir la décolonisation, les droits reproductifs et la justice pour les personnes allosexuelles, trans ou en situation de handicap.
