    Founded by Raven Lacerte (Lake Babine First Nation) and her father Paul Lacerte (Nadleh Whuten Band, Carrier First Nation), the Moose Hide Campaign asks men and boys to wear a moose hide pin and pledge their commitment to speak out against gender-based and domestic violence.

    November 25th also marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women
