A registered charity, ACWS is the provincial network organization of women’s shelters in Alberta. ACWS supports 41 members operating over 50 shelters across the province for women, their children, and seniors facing domestic abuse. We support our members and work with them to end domestic violence through culture-shifting violence prevention programs, collective data and research, and front-line training. With support from ACWS, Alberta shelters are helping to provide safety, support families, and improve communities.
ACWS is committed to reconciliation and building relationships with Indigenous communities. Through collaboration with community leaders, elders, activists, and on-reserve shelters, ACWS has developed curriculum, tools, and land acknowledgments to facilitate greater understanding of Indigenous history and culture.
