The Assaulted Women’s Helpline is a 24-hour telephone and TTY crisis line for women in the province of Ontario who have experienced any form of abuse. We provide crisis counselling, safety planning, emotional support, with information and referrals accessible 7 days a week, in over 150 languages, 365 days a year.

 

2015 marks our 30th year as an agency, as we continue to endeavour to reach more women who need our services, and work to end violence against women.

 

The Assaulted Women’s Helpline is an essential first point of contact for women especially:
 

        • In communities without women’s shelters or other services

        • For women who would not traditionally access shelters

        • For non-English language callers (average 10,000/year)

        • For TTY callers, for the deaf and hard of hearing (average 5,000/year)
 

 

 

If you or someone you know who is experiencing abuse, please call our 24/7 crisis line:
