HOW YOU CAN HELP

Violence against women is a persistent and ongoing problem in Canada. The 2006 Statistics Canada report found that at least 25 women are killed by their partners in Ontario each year.

North York Women’s Shelter helps many women and children fleeing from a life of violence each year. Help us to help them.
