12th Shine the Light campaign tree-lighting illuminates London, Ont.
The southwest corner of Victoria Park in London, Ont., is shining bright for the London Abused Women’s Centre’s 12th annual Shine the Light campaign on Monday night.
The tree stands as a symbol of hope and a visual sign to women and girls who are victims of gender-based violence. In front of the tree were cutouts of 15 women and girls from the London community who have been killed by gender-based violence. Over the last year, LAWC has reported a 45-per cent increase in women accessing their urgent supports.
