 |  Less than 30% of abused women report the incident to the police. |  Today in Durham, there are over 5000 families on a waiting list for subsidized housing. |  Investing in the early years, ages 0-6, results in healthier, safer children. |
|---|---|---|---|
 At least one woman is killed by her partner each week in Canada. |  A child who lives with violence is forever changed - but not forever damaged. |  We counsel. We share. We support. We help. |
