Every year WAWG releases a snapshot infographic highlighting key trends and emerging concerns related to gender-based violence and sexual violence in Hamilton.

Behind every statistic are women, girls, and gender-diverse individuals navigating impossible choices between safety, housing, and stability. Many survivors do not report these experiences due to stigma, fear, systemic barriers, and concerns that they will not receive the support they need and deserve.

To anyone experiencing violence, please know you are not alone. Services across Hamilton are available to support you whenever you are ready to reach out.

WAWG’s survivor advisory group, Women Against Violence Empowering Survivors (WAVES), also hosts monthly supportive workshops for women in Hamilton. More information can be found on our social media or by contacting [email protected].

We believe survivors, and we remain committed to working collectively toward safer communities for all.
