Women who come to the Women's Centre are often encountering, or have encountered violence in their lives. In this workshop, we will explore what constitutes violence against women - myths, facts, and what we can offer women when they come in struggling with this issue.
This workshop is a part of our volunteer training series but is open to any woman.
Wednesday Feb 14, 6:30pm at Scarboro United Church
