Words Matter – Gender-based violence

Words Matter - Gender-based violence

CIPHER created the Words Matter campaign to share and promote a collective understanding of many well-known and used mental health terms that describe various occupationally related challenges many public safety personnel (PSP), healthcare workers (HCWs), veterans, and their families face every day. Gender-based violence refers to any type of harmful behaviour against a person or group of people because of their sex, gender, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Learn more about it here.
