Help Jafari raise money

I'm running to support NYWS and it's mission to support and empower women and help to put an end to Gender-Based Violence!

As noted below and on the NYWS page, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionate negative impact on women, particularly women of colour, so let's do our part to do what we can to provide support!

In the first two months of the onset of COVID-19 pandemic, 1.5 million women lost their jobs in Canada. Women’s participation in the labour force has reached its lowest level in three decades. Domestic violence across the country is surging. The pandemic is disproportionately affecting Black, Indigenous, and women and children of colour, LGBTQ+, and gender diverse. The result of COVID's devastating gendered effects on women and female-identifying people has become so severe across the world, the U.N. had to officially declare the effects as a “shadow pandemic”. To put it simply, women are facing the brunt of two global pandemics with little to no support.
