Shelters and Transition Houses United to End Violence Against Women
About us
Women's Shelters Canada brings together 14 provincial and territorial shelter organizations representing over 400 shelters across Canada. Our mission is to work as a unified voice for systemic change to end violence against women, while providing leadership for collaboration and knowledge exchange among shelters and transition houses across the country. Drawn together by a shared vision to end violence against women, the provincial and territorial organizations representing women’s shelters and transition houses began giving shape to the Canadian Network of Women’s Shelters & Transition Houses (renamed Women’s Shelters Canada in 2017). Together, we have become a national, unified, and collaborative voice for change. Our work includes: Sheltersafe.ca – a clickable map connecting women with the nearest shelter that can offer safety, hope, and support Advocating for a National Action Plan on Violence Against Women Shelter Voices – a yearly publication from data collected from shelters across the country, highlighting the voices behind the numbers Shelter Exchange Program – reciprocal exchanges of shelter workers from across the country, to learn from each other’s work, practices, and contexts in a hands-on way Open Doors Project – a training program designed to empower shelters and transition houses to be more inclusive and trauma-informed when serving women escaping abuse Coordinating knowledge sharing (e.g. webinars, workshops) between leading practitioners and researchers in the field and shelters and shelter workers Organizing a national conference in June 2018 for the shelter sector
