The Moose Hide Campaign is an Indigenous-led movement of men, boys, and all Canadians standing up to end violence against women and children.

The Moose Hide Campaign was founded in 2011 by Paul Lacerte and his daughter Raven. What started with a single moose has turned into a Canada-wide anti-violence movement. Most organizations that address domestic and gender-based violence are led by women, but the Moose Hide Campaign specifically challenges men and boys to step up and take action against this violence. On their website, the campaign states that their goal is the following:

• Stand up with women and children and speak out against violence towards them.
• Support each other as men and hold each other accountable.
• Teach boys the true meaning of love and respect and be healthy role models for them.
• Teach boys the true meaning of love and respect and be healthy role models for them.
• Heal ourselves as men and support our brothers on their healing journey.
