Did you know that half of all women in Canada have experienced at least one incident of physical or sexual violence since the age of 16?
In its continuing efforts to end violence against women, the Canadian Women’s Foundation has partnered up with Winners and HomeSense to create the Shop for Hope campaign that runs throughout April 12 to May 11. The Canadian Women’s Foundation is one of the ten largest women’s foundations in the world and helps to empower women and girls in Canada to move out of violence, out of poverty and into confidence.
This unique program donates net proceeds of specially marked Canadian Women’s Foundation products to help raise hope for women and their children across Canada who experience violence. From pillows with inspirational quotes, to throws, candles and jewelry boxes, this exclusive line of products has something for everyone, with the added benefit of helping women in your community.
While we don’t always post about women’s initiatives, this is definitely one that holds a special place in our hearts. It is so incredibly important to stay positive and confident as women and to work together and motivate each other to get through difficult times.
We wanted to spread the word and get everyone involved and shine some light on Canadian Women’s Foundation, so we are offering an amazing giveaway for Fans of Girls of T.O and CWF!
Enter for your chance to win the entire Shop for Hope collection care of Winners and HomeSense including tons of beauty, home and fashion items! We are so excited to give this package away!
Enter below and good luck!

Education is the key I think, and start when they are young (both boys and girls) to teach them and raise them what should be and what should not be acceptable, and never ignore. Stand up and do what is right.
