WOMEN'S SHELTERS CANADA
"To whom it may concern,
This is a reference letter for the women who never got one.
The women who skipped days without notice. Who showed up late but still left early. Who spent all day with one eye on their phones.
Some might have called it poor performance. But what if those moments had told a different story? The story of someone experiencing domestic violence.
One in three workers will experience domestic violence in their lifetime.*
Over 80% will see their work performance impacted negatively as a result.*
They lose promotions. Lose jobs. And lose their references.
That’s why we’ve launched a new training program to help workplaces recognize the signs, understand their responsibilities, and support survivors.
Sign up for this training to access resources, and take action.
Let this be their reference letter. Not only for the next job, but for the ones they deserved to keep."
