OUR MISSION
Historically, women and children have experienced systematic and institutionalized inequality in our society. We recognize that women and children are disadvantaged by our patriarchal society and because of this, are frequently victimized through violence. We recognize that violence against women and children is both an expression of their disadvantage and a coercive tool used to ensure it’s perpetuation. Alternatives for Women, as part of a comprehensive network of services for women and children who have been victimized by violence, provide advocacy, education, and non-judgmental supportive counselling within a feminist perspective.
When you donate to Alternatives for Women, you are donating to directly help the women and children who use our services. Your generous donation ensures that we can help as many women as possible who are experiencing intimate partner violence in moving towards safety, choice and empowerment.
Alternatives for Women — Shelter, Stability, Safety — Help Fund It Now!
For over 30 years, AFW has offered free, confidential counselling and second-stage housing to women and children escaping domestic violence in Prince Edward County.
Our main housing building — more than 60 years old — has reached the end of its useful life. The time for repairs is over. We need brand-new transitional housing built immediately so survivors have a safe, stable place to heal and rebuild.
We aim to build six modern, family- and pet-friendly units (including one fully accessible), giving survivors the space, dignity, and security they deserve during their transition — but we can’t do it without you.
Your gift matters now. Together, we can build more than walls — we can build hope, safety, and new beginnings.
