In our second special show about how the Covid-19 response is affecting working people, ITF project specialist (ending violence against women transport workers) Kim Rojas talks to Lisa Kelly and Eva Guta. Lisa Kelly is the national director of the women's department from Unifor the union, Canada, and Eva Guta is a labour and community activist in Canada, with over 20 years of dedication to stopping violence against women. They talk about the particular effects on working women of the Covid-19 crisis, and how the Unifor women's advocate program is responding. The programme was started in 1989, it supports women and men facing violence at work and at home.
