THAT IS WHY THE YWCA HAS ORGANIZED, COLLABORATED ON, AND ACTIVELY PARTICIPATED IN MANY EVENTS AND CAMPAIGNS TO PROMOTE MOBILIZATION, ENGAGEMENT, AND RAISE AWARENESS AROUND WOMEN’S ISSUES.1 Four initiatives in 2018-2019 deserve special attention ELECTION DEBATES During the fall 2018 provincial election campaign, despite the waves created by the #metoo movement, reports of harassment scandals on university campuses, or the shock in response to the courage of high school-age girls to stand up and condemn the insidious phenomenon of sexual assault in schools, it was the silence of the political parties regarding challenges faced by women that spoke the loudest. Instead of sitting back and doing nothing, the Montreal YWCA decided to organize a debate to give four candidates the opportunity to elaborate on their party’s stand on these fundamental issues: violence against women; security and housing; employment, inclusion and immigration; prevention, education and healthy relationships. This event brought together more than 80 people and was made available online in the form of video clips. The debate revealed the positions of the different parties, and it is our hope that it also allowed those present to better understand some of the issues faced by women and have a more informed opinion on this topic when they went to the polls. MENTAL HEALTH Also in the fall of 2018, the media reported on tragic suicides that could perhaps have been prevented (one can only hope) if the safety net that is our health system had been more tightly woven. These heartbreaking stories touched residents of Quebec to the core. At the YWCA - among others, within our residen- tial services - we regularly note major difficulties in trying to coordinate the different resources available to help persons dealing with mental health issues. Unfortunately, we have noticed that the expertise and experience of community-based mental health services are too rarely taken into account, even though professionals working there are ready and able to effectively contribute to the support, services and guidance that people dealing with mental health issues so greatly need. Here too, we chose to take a stand. Our open letter, Les mains tendues, was published in the daily newspaper La Presse, and was quoted at the National Assembly of Quebec by member Hélène David to point out that it is time for Quebec to stop and collectively think about the growing issue of mental health in our province. ANNUAL REPORT 2018-2019 ANNUAL 1 The list of our main initiatives and the events we have taken part in advocating for women and girls can be found in the appendix to our annual report and is available online (in French only) at ra2019.ydesfemmesmtl.org 2 laissetoipasacheter.ydesfemmesmtl.org/ 4 3 The full text of our brief, available in French only, can be found on our website at www.ydesfemmesmtl.org/laicite Ludivine Reding • Julianne Côté • Françoise Abanda • Catherine Brunet • Noémie Bannes • Gloria Bella • Sarah-Maude Beauchesne SEXUAL EXPLOITATION An overwhelming majority of female sex workers are recruited as minors, the average age being around 14.7. Most are recruited in educational settings (from primary schools through to universities), youth centres, metro stations, and parks. Electronic communication, more specifically, social media, has expanded the arsenal of recruitment tactics used for the purposes of sexual exploitation, and large international events are a conducive environment to recruiting young girls. Gifts, the irresistibility of luxury and the easy money flaunted by recruiters are a powerful draw.

Since June, attitudes in Quebec are largely holding steady. This includes favourability of Legault and his wide lead over other party leaders as the best option for Premier of Quebec. When it comes to leadership attributes, Legault ranks as the best on all positive attributes such as ‘strong leadership’, ‘competent’, and ‘represents positive change’. Legault and the CAQ now have an 8-point lead over the Liberals when it comes to vote. Today, INNOVATIVE is releasing results from our July 2020 Canada This Month survey. This online survey was in field from July 14th to July 20th with a weighted sample size of 500 Quebec residents. Detailed methodology is provided in the appendix. This report covers key results on how those from Quebec are rating their government’s handling of the COVID-19 outbreak and the impacts that is having on more general government approval and provincial vote choice. 3 Government Approval Quebecers are steady on the share who say they approve of the gov’ts handling of COVID-19, with a large majority continuing to approve.
