Women’s Shelters Canada (formerly the Canadian Network of Women’s Shelters & Transition Houses) collaborates with a number of partners and stakeholders. We strongly believe that coordinated efforts are required to address the complexity and pervasiveness of violence against women in Canada and around the world.
Research and Policy
Women’s Shelters Canada produces research reports, discussion papers, policy briefs, and high-level environmental scans on a variety of issues related to violence against women (VAW).
Women’s Shelters Canada connects shelters and shelter associations across provinces and territories, better enabling them to share practices, insights, and knowledge across the sector.
Acting as a national, unified voice for the shelter sector in Canada, WSC engages with individual MPs and Parliamentary Standing Committees on a variety of issues.
