Help for women who are victims of violence
Amnesty is not able to provide direct advice or assistance for you if you are in a dangerous situation seeking immediate support.
Here are some agencies that might be able to provide assistance to someone seeking advice or support for themselves, or for others experiencing violence.
- If you or someone you know is presently experiencing violence and seeking refuge, please go to the website of the Canadian Association of Sexual Assault Centres website: http://www.casac.ca/ for a directory of shelters and services across Canada.
- If you are looking for information and resources pertaining to domestic violence, please go to the Springtide Resources: End violence against women website: http://www.springtideresources.org
- For a world-wide list of agencies against domestic violence, and abuse information in over 70 languages, please go to the International list of domestic violence and abuse agencies: http://www.hotpeachpages.net
