Vancouver Rape Relief and Women’s Shelter continues to share information and encourage discussions on ending violence against women. An Important part of our work is public education and we endeavor to make ourselves available to the public to speak on the topic of Violence against women. In our 30 years of work operating our rape crisis line and transition house for battered women we have accumulated a wealth of experience and knowledge. We currently have collective members working on the lines and in the transition house who are prepared to speak on these topics and more.
