Did you know that every year approximately 100,000 women and children in Canada seek refuge in a shelter for abused women? Or that up to 360,000 children in Canada witness abuse in their home? That one to two women die as a result of domestic violence every week?

Did you know that together we can end violence against women?

HOW YOU CAN HELP...

Life in a Women's Shelter (a daily journal) - It can be devastating and at the same time it can be the first step toward a better life.  It can be the decision that is life changing.  Without a doubt—this is a time of turmoil—there are so many emotions happening all at once—and often those emotions are fighting against each other.  It can literally be the best of times and the worst of times all at the same time.  A daily journal written by Lynne, Executive Director of a shelter in Ontario.
