SOAR supports BC Poverty Reduction's call for targeted income support for people fleeing intimate partner violence. Financial instability is one of the greatest barriers survivors face when trying to leave unsafe situations, and income support is a critical part of ensuring they can do so safely.
Gender-based violence costs BC more than $1.12 billion a year, impacting healthcare, justice systems, housing, and productivity. Read the YWCA BC Cost of Inaction report to learn more. ywcabc.org/report-cost-...
From research to real-world impact, SOAR offers informational presentations and trainings rooted in one critical intersection: brain injury caused by intimate partner violence.

Almost half (44%) of Canadian women experience intimate partner violence (IPV), and many will sustain brain injury (BI) as a result. Yet IPV-BI often goes unrecognized and unsupported. At SOAR, we explore, educate, and empower—because what is missed cannot be treated. #IPVBI #FactFriday
As many as 92% of women who experience intimate partner violence may also sustain a brain injury, yet many professionals still aren’t equipped to recognize and respond.
We’re recruiting subject matter experts to help build Canada’s response to IPV-BI. 💜

June is Pride Month! 2SLGBTQIA+ folx face disproportionately high rates of intimate partner violence, and are more likely to suffer brain injury as a result of the violence, an intersection that remains largely invisible and underserved especially within this community. #PrideMonth #IPVBIAwareness
