Support Women
Experiencing
Housing Insecurity

Join and follow Deborah Cox's "Beautiful U R" Initiative to bring care packages to
women in shelters and transitional housing

Gender-based violence has become a pandemic in Canada.

Women are at greater risk of intimate partner violence and vulnerability when facing housing insecurity. They face unique challenges including increased risks of physical, emotional, and psychological harm. Shelters for women offer temporary refuge from violence and transitional housing to support their next steps.
