CANIFFF is proud to announce a partnership with Women’s Habitat of Etobicoke, to shed light on an amazing organization. A portion of the proceeds from the “Annual Silent Auction”, November 28th, will be donated to them.
“Too often, women do not have the financial means to leave abusive relationships. As a society, we ought to provide resources and give them a much needed boost to restart their life’s journey” says Roger & Martine Gingerich.
Women’s Habitat of Etobicoke (WHE) is a multi-service, community-based organization in West Toronto. Since 1978, they have been serving women-identified individuals and their dependents from diverse backgrounds experiencing violence and poverty by providing shelter and outreach programs, services, and resources.
“We are so honoured to be a part of this event; film and fashion have played a vital role in communication, culture, connection, and bringing light to societal issues. It is so important to address those issues - like that of women experiencing violence. We work to support survivors in their recovery and building of sustainable livelihoods, but we cannot do our work alone. We are proud and thankful to partner with caring organizations like CANIFFF who take this journey with us.” - Carla Neto, Executive Director, WHE
