Mission Statement
The Woman Abuse Council of Toronto ("WomanACT") is a policy development and planning body that coordinates an efficient and effective approach to providing services for assaulted women and their families. The Council is made up of senior level representatives of each of the key sectors in the community response to woman abuse. As a coordinating body, the Council: identifies gaps in service; supports and facilitates policy development and pilot projects; and undertakes research and actions that promote institutional and systemic change.
About This Cause
WomanACT is the only coordinating body in the Toronto Area; this alone highlights our expertise since there is no other agency doing similar work. Council members include representatives from health care, women’s counselling and advocacy agencies, family service agencies, child welfare, women’s shelters, children’s mental health, criminal justice, housing, legal aid and agencies representing immigrant, visible minority, francophone, and Aboriginal communities. There are over 300 agency and organizational representatives who bring issues, recommendations, and proposals to the Council through their participation in the work of these committees.
