Women Abuse Prevention Month

Women Abuse
Prevention Month

NOVEMBER is Ontario Woman Abuse Prevention Month

For the 12th year in a row, Windsor is participating in multiple initiatives for this yearly Woman Abuse Prevention Campaign. The campaign calls for community agencies, businesses, and citizens to individually and collectively work toward turning their city purple during the month of November to raise awareness on woman abuse. Hiatus House also honours survivors during the month of November as a way to inspire other victims to reach out for help, and for the community to respond.

For more information on woman abuse and how to get help, call us at 519-252-7781 or visit the page below.
