  • Calls to sexual assault centres have risen dramatically in the past few years, and at this moment when services are in high demand, the policy context is also shifting as new gender-based violence strategies are produced at the federal and provincial levels. It is a moment when leaders of sexual assault centres across Canada want to take stock and strategize a vision for service provision and violence prevention in collaboration with researchers who can evaluate the impact of new programming. However, with increasing demands for service, it is difficult to make the time to establish a vision.
