December 6th Fund
Half of all women in Canada have experienced at least one incident of physical or sexual violence since the age of 16.
This number does not reflect unreported cases of violence.
We know that when you give women a way out of an abusive situation, they become empowered and committed to building a better life.
We are working to end violence against women and girls.
“It is not easy to just leave. It takes money and support and you need a safe place to go. I was able to leave a bad situation and make a safe environment for myself and my kids.”
