Why support THIS CAUSE?

Saskatchewan has a major problem.

Our province has the highest rate of domestic violence and sexual assault in Canada– 90 per cent of those victims are women and girls. Indigenous women and girls are 6X more likely to experience violence.  Over 80 per cent of the women coming to the YWCA Regina for support are doing so because they are fleeing violence. And every single day, many of those women and families are in need of immediate support and cannot get it.

In 2022, over 3,000 women and children were turned away from local shelters due to lack of space – and the problem is intensifying.

In 2023, 171 women and children were turned away every single month.

Simply put, Regina’s most vulnerable populations are at a crisis point. But we can change this.

Since 1910, the YWCA Regina has been at the forefront of serving the women and families of Regina and area, supporting and empowering women and families. And now, after years of research, planning, and consultation, they are ready for the opportunity to do their work in a better way: A way that promotes healing, education, community support and crisis prevention. A way that wraps its arms around women and children: YWCA Regina’s kikaskihtânaw Centre for Women & Families.

When we work with a woman in advance of crisis by providing these wrap-around supports in one place, not only does she benefit, our whole community does. Meeting the needs of a woman in crisis is a cost to our community of over $100,000/year. Providing support and shelter to a woman reduces that cost to $50,000/year. But, when we work with that woman in advance and navigate appropriate housing and support for her, the community cost is reduced to $14,000 — A cost avoidance of $86,000 per woman per year.

When you support the Centre for Women and Families, you foster healing, hope, independence, and the creation of a bright and sustainable future for your entire community.

Join us, and together, let’s be here for her – whoever she may be.
