This Reclaim Your Voice event will feature raw survival testimonials from three survivors of psychological abuse, sexual abuse and domestic violence. There will also be spoken word performances and creative group exercises. Join as we celebrate the courage, strength and resilience of survivors.

According to Statistics Canada, more than half of Canadian women have experienced at least once incident of sexual or physical violence and only 1 in 10 report it due to humiliation or fear of revictimization. Men are less likely to file a report, for the same reasons and other social stigmas. From these daunting numbers, it is apparent that abuse thrives on silence. By sharing your survival story, you can help save lives.
Join us in the name of peace and healing for all.
