Anyone can experience violence, abuse, or exploitation.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But some of us are statistically more at risk than others. Women and trans women of color, children, elders, and disabled populations are the most likely to have these harms carried out against them. Socially or systemically marginalized people, such as those experiencing poverty, homelessness, racism, or over-policing are also at high risk, as well as refugees and new arrivals. We offer support that spans all of these communities and issues. Many times, the harm someone experiences does not fall under one single definition and may be accompanied by other forms of violence, abuse, and exploitation. All of our services address the complex and interconnected nature of these issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
