The YWCA Metro Vancouver has unveiled a 42-foot mural created by international artist Ola Volo with a stark message about intimate partner violence in Canada.
Depicting a queen rising with newfound strength, the mural is meant to be a symbol of hope for women experiencing abuse and aims to raise awareness about gender-based violence during the pandemic. It is titled “The Wall for Women” and is located at the Hyatt Regency, 655 Burrard Street, Vancouver, located next to Burrard SkyTrain Station.

The mural’s message comes at a time when domestic violence has intensified with the COVID-19 pandemic’s impactful social crisis and lockdowns.
