Purity, according to the Council of Love, is the colour of pearlescent white and the colour of infants before they ground in their body.

That white light purity is what we all miss in human form, that compassion, that Love.

Source Energy, where we originate, is balanced with no hierarchy.

We are of Source, of Love, of the Divine Mother and the Divine Father.

Our internal conscious work, balancing how we feel about the masculine, and how we feel about the feminine, generally from what we experienced in childhood (sometimes past lives) is a way to gender equality on planet Earth—remembering our purity.

The Universal Law of As Within So Without, As Above So Below, Balance points to this.

As our Ascension progresses, may we become more and more consciously aware so Archangel Michael’s Peace Initiative comes to fruition . . . all the guns, within and without, put aside . . . for gender inequality to be a thing of the past.

International Women’s Day is often described as a celebration, but its history tells a more complex story.

It emerged from movements demanding safer working conditions, political rights, and dignity for women whose labour and lives were constrained.

From factory workers organizing for fair treatment to feminist activists building shelters and crisis lines, the day has always been rooted in collective action.

At its core, International Women’s Day recognizes something women have long understood: that safety from gender-based violence is necessary, and it is not guaranteed by principle alone and that safety exists, or fails, in the conditions surrounding our lives.

Leaving intimate partner violence is rarely a single moment. It most often involves navigating housing, income, childcare, legal systems, and community support all at once. When those systems fail to account for survivors’ realities, safety becomes harder to achieve and sustain.

Recent data from the Canadian Femicide Observatory underscores the urgency.

In 2025, 147 women and girls were killed in Canada, most often by men they knew.

Nearly 3/4 were killed in private places such as their homes, and more than 1/3 by a current or former intimate partner. At least 119 children were left without a mother.

In British Columbia, femicide remains a persistent reality, with about 20 to 24 women killed each year.

In 2025, 23 women killed in BC accounted for nearly one-fifth of all femicides in Canada, despite the province representing only about 14% of the country’s population.

These numbers reflect what frontline workers and survivors have long known: violence against women is not primarily random or public; instead, it is embedded in the intimate spaces where women live their daily lives.

At Battered Women’s Support Services, decades of frontline work have shown that victims and survivors navigate systems rather than a single barrier when attempting to leave violence.
