It does sound like just from this overview that theres kind of a blind spot in regards to black and indigenous men being targeted for police violence, in general actually looking at the linked teachers toolkit there doesnt seem to be ANY material relating to police and state violence?

That seems particularly concerning when the article critiques the old framing of gender based violence as a matter of individual responsibility, and instead talks about analysing structural violence in terms of like housing market or healthcare, but seems to sort of just not particularly focus on the most directly violent power structures in society?

Theres several downloadable bits of material for human trafficking by comparison, which is of course good but its a noticeable gap in focus.

Maybe GBV is like a much more specific terminology than I was aware of beforehand but reading through the site and the linked accounts it kind of comes off like "Gender" Based Violence in a rather euphemistic way.

Also the only structure that seems to be explicitly targeted and mentioned is the Canadian Military covering up sexual violence.
