If you are experiencing or have experienced abuse, please look over our programs and contact us for help.
Our programs are free and confidential. Support is provided without judgement. We are a queer positive, anti-racist, anti-oppression, feminist organization and work from a harm reduction model. All of our programs are accessible, including our shelter space. We do our very best to overcome any barrier a woman might have that would make it difficult for her to leave her abusive partner or home.
