EmpowerMENt starts with awareness.

By challenging harmful norms and choosing accountability, men can help build safer, more equal communities.

Change starts with us.

Ending gender-based violence requires more than awareness—it requires action. GBV affects individuals, families, and communities, making it a societal issue that demands the active involvement of men, boys, women, and girls alike.
Together, we can challenge harmful norms, promote respect, and create safe spaces where everyone can live free from violence and discrimination.
💜 Speak up.
💜 Support survivors.
💜 Be part of the solution.
Ending Gender-Based Violence Starts With All of Us.

Midaynta Community Services stands in solidarity with Omar Abdulkadir Artan and the global Somali community. As the first Somali FIFA referee to reach this level, his journey represents excellence, resilience, and the power of representation.

We thank Canadian leaders who have spoken in support of inclusion, equity, and opportunity. Today, we stand with those who continue to break barriers, challenge stereotypes, and inspire future generations.

On National Gun Violence Awareness Day, the Mending a Crack in the Sky mothers are proud to stand alongside Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree, MPP Chris Glover, First Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik, councillor Francis Nunziata and other key leaders to advance efforts to end gun violence and highlight the vital importance of their work in the community.

Today, MCIS (Midaynta Community Services) joins communities across Canada in remembering those whose lives have been lost to gun violence and standing in solidarity with survivors, families, and loved ones affected by violence.
