Help bring safety and justice to survivors of domestic, sexual and intimate-partner violence.
Last year, BWSS received over 52,000 requests for service — including more than 33,000 crisis-line calls and 14,000 safety plans. Together, we can change that.
Why Your Gift Matters
Every call answered. Every plan made. Every survivor supported.
At BWSS, your donation powers frontline support trained crisis-line workers answering when the phone rings, legal advocates standing beside survivors in court, safe housing options for women and children fleeing violence, counselling and peer-support groups that help rebuild lives.
This is urgent work. Your gift today ensures that when a woman decides to leave, someone is ready to walk beside her.
