Surrey Women’s Centre Society
The Surrey Women’s Centre Society is a Canadian nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting women, girls, and gender-diverse individuals escaping domestic violence, sexual assault, and other forms of gender-based violence. Registered under the business number 140327891RR0001, the Centre operates as a critical community resource in Surrey, British Columbia, providing emergency assistance, advocacy, counselling, and holistic support services around the clock, every day of the year.
Mission and Vision
The Surrey Women’s Centre Society’s mission is to protect and empower women and girls while working toward the elimination of gender-based violence. The organization envisions a future where gender-based violence no longer exists and strives to redefine the narrative around survivors from victims to empowered individuals.
Services and Programs
Operating 24/7, the Centre serves as often the first, and sometimes the only, point of contact for survivors seeking help. Its comprehensive support structure includes:
- Counselling Services: Offering emotional support to survivors of violence and their families.
- Access to Justice Support: Assisting sexual assault survivors in navigating the legal system.
- Community Outreach: Through initiatives like the S.M.A.R.T Van program, the Centre connects with women in the community, delivering essential life-saving services.
- Health and Wellness: Providing holistic care that addresses medical, emotional, and psychological needs to support recovery and empowerment.
Strategic Framework
The organization's five-year Action Plan (2021–2026) is centered on three key pillars:
- Safety: Ensuring survivors’ immediate and ongoing safety.
- Justice: Facilitating survivors’ access to justice and legal support.
- Equality: Advocating for systemic change to achieve gender equality and prevent violence.
Role in the Community
As a designated essential service, the Surrey Women’s Centre plays a vital role in the local safety net for survivors of gender-based violence. Its frontline workers respond rapidly to crisis calls, assessing risk and creating safety plans to protect survivors and their loved ones. The Centre also actively engages volunteers and board members to support its mission and expand its impact.
Impact and Support
The Centre regularly shares survivor stories to highlight the realities of gender-based violence and the importance of timely intervention. It encourages community members to support its initiatives through donations, volunteering, or joining the board to help bring critical services such as Surrey’s next Sexual Assault Clinic to fruition.
The Surrey Women’s Centre Society remains a cornerstone institution in Surrey, BC, dedicated to ending gender-based violence and fostering a safer, more equitable community for all women, girls, and gender-diverse people[1][2][3][5].
