The Assaulted Women’s Helpline has served as a 24-hour telephone and TTY crisis line to all women in the province of Ontario who have experienced any form of abuse.
We provide crisis counseling, safety
planning, emotional support, with information and referrals accessible 7 days a week 365 days a year.
Due to lack of funding, as many as 50% of the women that call the line during peak periods cannot getthrough to speak with a counsellor. This means thousands of women hear a busy signal when they need to hear the voice of one of the crisis line counsellors.
Since 2004, the Assaulted Women’s Helpline gala has raised over $400,000 in critical funds and awareness for the 27/7 crisis line, supporting more than 50% of Ontario women who are facing violence and abuse.
