Many people will experience intimate partner or family violence—either directly or through someone they love. For those who haven’t, and are only beginning to grasp the scale of this crisis through the devastating headlines of women killed by men, this post is a place to start.

On March 11, 2025, an important event in Vancouver brought together frontline experts, government leaders, and nonprofit practitioners to explore how modern technology can meaningfully transform public safety. This wasn’t another discussion about why change is needed—it focused on how to make that change real.

Join us for the Safe with Milli Launch Event in Cornwall, Ontario, as we celebrate the public release of Milli, the groundbreaking personal safety app designed to support survivors of gender-based violence.

For survivors of violence, accessing support can be overwhelming. Many face barriers to safety, uncertainty about where to turn, and systems that are difficult to navigate. At the same time, frontline service providers work within fragmented, overstretched frameworks that don’t always provide the tools needed to deliver timely, coordinated support.

On February 14, a day often associated with love and connection, we mark the official incorporation of Todaybreak—a nonprofit organisation dedicated to leveraging technology to break cycles of gender-based violence and social inequity worldwide.
