Both the Canadian Femicide Observatory (https://femicideincanada.ca) and the Ontario Association of Interval and Transition Houses (https://www.oaith.ca/) maintain lists of murdered women. If you get in touch with them, you should be able to get the list you are looking for.

Do you have a list of women murdered in Ontario from March to now?

Knowing what to do is not always easy. Each of us has something different to contribute to the work to end violence against women.

Small actions can be as important as large ones. For example:
> speaking up when someone makes a sexist joke
> mentioning the rate of domestic homicide to friends and colleagues
> helping children find books and movies with strong female characters
> challenging stereotyped characterizations of both women and men in popular culture

Other actions to consider are:
> writing a letter to your local newspaper about violence against women
> connecting with women’s organizations in your community to offer your time, skills and/or your money
> raising the issue in your workplace

Thank you. We do need to keep reporting every time a woman is in danger, every time a woman has been murdered. This gives all of us the information we need to show this shameful murderous local and global society of accepted male dominance, for what it is. Hopefully through our speaking out every time, more women will find safety. We are here to change this.
