month of July , while an additional two cases are unconfirmed and are being monitored for
further police disclosure. Two femicide cases that occurred in June have been confirmed this
month to bring the total to 38 femicides occurring in Ontario in the last 35 weeks. We are truly

La couverture médiatique a confirmé que six autres féminicides ont eu lieu en Ontario pendant le mois
de juillet, et nous attendons les informations de la police sur deux autres cas non confirmés. Deux cas
de féminicides ayant eu lieu en juin ont été confirmés ce mois-ci, totalisant ainsi 38 féminicides en
Ontario ces 35 dernières semaines. Nous sommes réellement attristées par la réalité que chaque
semaine en Ontario, une autre femme doit perdre la vie en raison de la violence masculine et que des
familles, des amis et amies, des communautés et des fournisseurs de services sont tous touchés par
ces violences évitables.
