Taking Survivor-Centred Safety to Every City in British Columbia

Across British Columbia, communities are asking an urgent question:

What would public safety look like if it were designed with survivors in mind?

BWSS is working with municipalities across the province to advance survivor-centred approaches to gender-based violence prevention by strengthening coordination, increasing accountability, and supporting local responses before intimate partner and other forms of gender-based violence escalates.

This page tracks how cities and communities are taking action to prevent violence and improve safety for women and their children.
