43 Femicides took place in Ontario since November 2024.

These women deserved safety. Their families, friends and communities should not have to bear the unimaginable grief that comes with losing a loved one.

Intimate partner violence is an epidemic in Peel.

As a cross-sector collaborative, PCAWA strives to enhance system navigation for survivors & increase collaboration amongst systems across Peel

The issues of poverty & gender-based violence are interconnected in many ways.

Effective approaches to addressing GBV must reflect an understanding of the intersections of poverty & inadequate social assistance programs for survivors.
