The first step is finding a safe place to plan your next steps. If you are in immediate danger, please call 911 and our 24-hour crisis line 604 872 8212.
If you currently live with the man who attacked you and you need a safe place to go, transition houses provide shelter specifically for women immediately escaping violent situations (including sexual violence). A list of transition houses in British Columbia can be found here. If you need help in finding somewhere safe to stay, please give us a call 604 872 8212.
We strongly encourage you to contact us at 604 872 8212 or another local women’s organization that offers information and advocacy around the police. We can talk to you about what to expect and answer any questions you have about the legal process. In most cases we can attend the police statement with you to support you, but if not, we will refer you to another organization that can.
