Poslanici kanadskog parlamenta obuli su roze štikle u okviru manifestacije "Nada u visokim potpeticama" koju sponzoriše sklonište za žene u Ontariju, kako bi podigli svest o nasilju nad ženama, pišu strani mediji.

"Nasilje nad ženama još uvek preovladava u našem društvu", napisao je kanadski ministar saobraćaja Omar Algabra u četvrtak na Tviteru, zajedno sa video snimkom događaja.

"Nada u štiklama je događaj koji širi svest o nasilju nad ženama, istovremeno ohrabrujući muškarc.e i dečake da budu deo rešenja. Nosili smo njihove prepoznatljive ružičaste štikle kao podršku ovome" istakao je on.

Violence against women is still prevalent in our society. Hope in Heels is an event that spreads awareness on violence against women while encouraging men and boys to be part of the solution. We wore their signature pink heels in support to this important cause. @HaltonWomensPl pic.twitter.com/5qngxQ6Myu

Poslanica liberalne stranke Karina Guld takođe se oglasila povodom tog događaja:

"Obrazovanje muškaraca i dečaka je deo rešenja i naša je odgovornost da okončamo rodno zasnovano nasilje", napisala je Guld

We welcomed @HaltonWomensPl to the Hill for the 4th annual Hope in High Heels on the Hill, to continue the conversation on systemic violence against women. Educating men and boys is part of the solution, and it is all of our responsibilities to end gender based violence. pic.twitter.com/W1Y2daIhHP
