About This Cause
Embrave: Agency to End Violence is a non-profit organization that provides shelter, counselling, and advocacy supports for women, Two-Spirit, genderqueer, trans and non-binary folks and their children impacted by gender-based violence. We amplify the voices of survivors, educate the community, and inspire systemic change to create a society free of violence. We understand that survivors’ experiences of violence are compounded by intersecting forms of racism and oppression. Embrave is a low barrier organization that is committed to ending gender-based violence by acknowledging and addressing the multitude of barriers facing folks who have experienced violence and by providing crisis intervention and a range of supports and services. Embrave’s definition of gender-based violence includes intimate partner violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, cyber violence; physical, emotional and financial violence; stalking; structural and systemic violence, such as racism, colonialism, classism, transphobia, homophobia, islamophobia, nationalism and ableism. Since our doors opened in 1981, Embrave has relied on the generosity of a caring community to support more than 51,000 survivors of gender-based violence and their children. Our organization has provided a broad range of supports to survivors of violence and contributed to thought leadership on how to eradicate gender-based violence for over 40 years. For decades, we have tirelessly fought to raise awareness of — and end — individualized and systemic violence in our communities. We are inclusive and welcoming of all women, two-spirit, genderqueer, trans and non-binary people facing all forms of violence. We want to create a space where survivors can bring their whole selves. We respect and honour the bravery of all survivors and stand alongside them. We recognize and champion the courage and resilience of survivors, and provide the resources and support they need to determine their own path forward. We are a continuous and lasting presence, there for survivors of violence wherever they happen to be in their own personal journey. Embrave is relentless in leading change and striving towards a society free from violence. We amplify the voices of survivors and celebrate what they are able to overcome; we educate the public; and we inspire systemic change through our work with individuals while taking action and collaborating with other organizations in the community.
