Put Strength Into Action - Alberta Council of Women’s Shelters

Put Strength Into Action

Every day in Alberta, survivors of domestic abuse reach out for help.
Every day, someone needs to know they’re not alone.
Every day, shelters open their doors and hearts to women, children and families who need them most.

That’s what Strength in Action looks like. And it starts with you.

Last year, ACWS member shelters:

Answered 53,391 calls for help.

Provided safety and shelter to 8,136 women and children.

Delivered healing and outreach services to over 14,000 people.

Connected more than 20,000 survivors to vital legal, housing, and mental health supports.

These aren’t just numbers. They’re mothers, children, sisters, neighbors, and friends.

Each one has a story of courage, healing, and hope.

You make change possible.
