My Story…
In support of Victim Services Toronto and the incredible work that they do to support those in critical need
Description
Every 6 days, a woman in Canada is killed by her intimate partner.
Join us in supporting families fleeing abusive relationships and stand up against domestic violence and all forms of gender-based violence.
Victim Services Toronto provides services to 20,000 people each year. Our services help victims in the immediate aftermath of crime and sudden tragedy with crisis counselling, locating and arranging services, and resources to address immediate needs such as accommodation, transportation, food, to name a few. Approximately 75% of the people we work with are victims of gender-based violence including intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic Victim Services Toronto has received a 30% increase in calls for help from women escaping dangerous and violent situations with their children and who are at risk of losing their lives at the hands of their abuser.
Victim Services Toronto provides short-term crisis response, intervention, and prevention services which are responsive to the needs of individuals, families, and communities in the immediate aftermath of crime and sudden tragedy.
Help us in responding to the growing domestic violence epidemic in our city. Your generous contributions will help ensure families feeling abuse receive emergency crisis intervention, case management support services, and urgent necessities such as food, clothing, shelter, safety, and support services to rebuild their lives and live FREE of violence.
