	In Our Defence
	In 1991, the League obtained a $50,000 grant from the Wild Rose Foundation to supervise the production of In Our Defence, a film about women and violence. At that time, the film company, Image Works, was attempting to correct misinformation surrounding the violence issue, but addressing the topic was in its infancy. In Our Defence was the most successful independent production ever made: the film is still a required resource used by the RCMP in its training, and duplication rights were purchased by every provincial education department in Canada. Image Works still gets 20 to 30 requests per year for the film. As of 1999, In Our Defence was still the best resource on the topic—there is nothing newer or better dealing with the topic of violence against women. [Back to top]		What's New?
