communities of Kings, Annapolis, and Hants County. Our shelter operates 24 hours a day 365 days a year. There are absolutely NO FEES for service to women and their children who seek our shelter for help. Public education and community development are also important elements of our Association.

On Persons Day, we honour the Famous Five trailblazers who fought for women to be recognized as “persons” under Canadian law in 1929. Their victory was a turning point, but not the finish line. We carry their legacy forward by continuing the fight for equity, safety, and justice for all women and girls.

Rural women face additional barriers when seeking safety, so what can be done?

Through mobile outreach, better digital access, strong community networks, trauma-informed care, and the power of sharing stories, we can create safer, more supportive pathways forward.

Support should reach everyone, no matter the distance.

On Purple Thursday, we raise awareness about the intersection between intimate partner violence and brain injury so that survivors receive the compassionate care and assistance they need to heal.
