Join Tech Safety Canada, a project of Women’s Shelters Canada, for a 3-day virtual Tech Safety Forum during Victims Week, May 11–13th, 2026. This forum is designed to build practical skills and confidence in responding to technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV). This interactive forum will bring together anti-violence workers from across Canada, including shelter staff, frontline workers, counsellors, legal advocates, law enforcement and community-based professionals for shared learning and connection.
Date: Wednesday, May 27
Time: 1-2 pm ET
In this webinar, Anchal Bhatia of the South Asian Legal Clinic of Ontario and Deepa Mattoo of YWCA Toronto will provide frontline GBV workers with concrete, practical information about what Canada's Red Flags laws mean, how they work in practice, and how advocates can support survivors throughout the process. This session will also dig into some of the gaps in implementation and potential risks to survivor safety that must be considered when applying for firearms to be removed or restricted.
This webinar will be presented in English with simultaneous interpretation into French. The session will be recorded.
