Event: Reclaiming My Body
Join us for an enlightening and empowering discussion as we delve into the depths of reproductive health, shedding light on the silence and lack of research surrounding women and trans women's healthcare. As the creator and co-host of the renowned podcast "That Time of the Month," Beatrice Séguin brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. This event serves as a safe and welcoming space for individuals to share their stories, concerns, and experiences while fostering a sense of care and community. Celebrate International Women's Day by joining us in this important conversation.

Building SAFER SPACES Toolkit
To foster a culture where attitudes and behaviors that perpetuate sexual violence are rejected, survivors are supported, community members are educated and those who commit incidents of sexual violence are held accountable.
We trust in the power of advocacy and education. We believe in diverse and safe accessible services as they are fundamental to social change and empowering survivors. At the Centre, our work is driven by our communities needs. Survivors and all those affected by sexual violence will be provided with compassionate services, dignity, privacy, and respect.
