2010 24 Hour Census Report

2010 24 Hour Census Report is finally here!

On November 24th, 2010 in Violence Against Women’s programs across BC, 2271 people’s lives were directly affected.

1081 adults, youth and children sought support. 651 women, youth and children were sheltered from violence in Transition House, Safe Home and Second Stage Programs. 320 youth and children were supported in Children Who Witness Abuse Programs. 880 calls for support were answered.

Still…672 women, men, youth and children were unable to get the support or safe shelter they needed. But, if these services did not exist, thousands more people would be without support or information about violence against women.
