BREAK THE SILENCE . . . TALK ABOUT IT!
At least one in eight women suffers from abuse by her partner and approximately 100,000 children in Alberta are exposed to family violence each year. Protect them and yourself. Contact MRWSA for help!
We believe in providing a safe haven where all women can embrace who they are, define their future, and change the world.
Our Mission
To build on our abilities to meet individual, family, and the changing needs of those impacted by gender-based violence by providing trauma-informed services, increase community engagement, and championing the voices of all survivors by creating safe spaces for help, hope, and healing.
Our Philosophy
* We believe in a non-violent society in which women have both the freedom and the responsibility to direct all the important aspects of their lives: cultural, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, economic, and sexual.
* We believe that meaningful action toward a non-violent society necessitates changing community awareness of and challenging the acceptability of victimization of women and children.
* We believe women can evaluate their fears, attitudes, alternatives, and options in a manner that will enhance the empowerment of all women.
