– Victoria Immigrant & Refugee Centre helps immigrants, refugees, new Canadians and visible minorities adapt to life in Victoria.
– The Ending Violence Association of BC (EVA BC) offers materials to support women seeking safety and their service providers.
– The Government of British Columbia’s VictimLinkBC website provides resources and contact information about the counselling and support services available to women in B.C.
