National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women in Canada
The Social Work Association of Alberta (SWAA) recognizes the urgent need for government funding to prevent violence against women and to support survivors of GBV. Domestic violence shelters must be adequately funded, yet these measures alone, are not enough. As social workers we understand that safety for women can only be assured when essential services are well resourced and progressive policies are developed.
