Empowering new campaign by WIN House brings awareness to the rising rates of domestic violence

EDMONTON, AB, March 9, 2022 /CNW/ - WIN House, a local emergency women's shelter has launched an emotional new campaign to bring awareness to the devastating impacts domestic violence has on families and communities.

The impressive campaign, called On the Rise, is a warrior cry to action, calling on the community to rise up in support of domestic abuse Champions ?especially in light of the rising cases of domestic violence during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Today, more than ever before, women and children are in urgent need of safe shelter:  

• Domestic violence calls to Canada's Assaulted Women's Helpline almost doubled in 2020, compared to 2019.
• In 2020, more than 3,300 calls were made to the WIN House Helpline, with 2,870 of those requesting shelter.
• More than 2,300 of those requests for admission couldn't be accommodated due to limitations in capacity.

On the Rise uses compelling images and undeniable statistics to inspire action within our community. Domestic abuse is on the rise, but so can the number of people who're doing something about it. 

WIN House is on a mission to help even more Champions of domestic abuse stand tall and overcome the trauma of abuse. Together, we can give individuals and children the safety, support, shelter and community services they need to rebuild their lives. 

Help WIN House empower domestic abuse Champions.
