In this episode of TIPS, host Julia Vellucci commemorates December 6, the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, a day to honour the 14 women killed at École Polytechnique and to recognize the ongoing reality of gender-based violence in Canada. In this special episode, she speaks to Samra Zafar, human rights advocate, bestselling author, and survivor, whose story of resilience has inspired people across the country. Samra opens up about the warning signs of abuse, the barriers survivors face, and the invisible work of rebuilding a life after trauma. This episode sheds light on why gender-based violence persists, how we can better support survivors, and the role each of us plays in creating safer communities.
