Violence Prevention Fund
Violence against women, in all its forms, is a major barrier to self-reliance and economic independence for women.
Canadian Women’s Foundation developed the Canadian Philanthropic Strategy to Prevent Violence against Women and Girls to understand the most effective ways of ending violence against women and to guide our granting strategy. As a result we support a wide range of services and programs across Canada including:
- Programs that help women and their children rebuild their lives after violence
- outreach to women who are at greater risk of experiencing abuse
- Violence prevention programs that teach youth how to develop healthy relationships and prevent violence from happening in their own lives
- Support for children who have witnessed violence to help them heal and prevent them from becoming victims or abusers themselves
