A Safe Inclusive Space

Rainbow Flag for 2SLGBTQ+ CommunityVoices for Women is a safe space servicing Women (self-identified) and individuals of the 2SLGBTQ+ and BIPOC population. Our trained staff are knowledgeable and understanding of the diversity in culture, genders and the fluidity of sexual orientations. Wherever you are on your journey, we accept you as you are. This is a safe space.

First Nations Medicine WheelAs a result of colonization, Indigenous women have the highest risk of experiencing any form of sexual violence compared to other groups of women. This is why Voices for Women acknowledges that services for Indigenous women need to be culturally safe. All the staff undergo Indigenous Cultural Training to ensure adequate service delivery to the diverse cultures within the community of Sudbury and surrounding areas.

Voices for Women

Voices for Women is a free, community based, service for women (self-identified) who have experienced sexual violence. Sexual assaults are violent crimes that are rooted in power and control.  By providing survivors with a safe space and unconditional support; we empower them to regain a sense of personal power, and recognize their own self-worth as they embark on their healing journey. Voices for Women provides services in person, as well as virtually, to ensure all survivors have access to services, including those living in remote or rural communities.
