It shouldn't hurt to be a woman

The "Stopping the Violence" counselling program provides counselling and support to women who have experienced violence or abuse. Counselling is provided within a safe, supportive environment. Coming from a feminist perspective, counselling models respectful relationships. Services are delivered in a manner which respects each woman's individual rights, safety and human dignity, regardless of economic status, gender, age, race, cultural or ethnic origins, physical or mental ability or sexual orientation.
