Expanding access to evidence collection and healing after sexual assault.
We work with communities to bridge the gaps in their sexual assault response to ensure every survivor has options.
Centring Survivors
Survivor agency and safety guide every decision we make. Our projects centre survivors and work within the realities of access to services for all survivors, not just those who can follow the ideal path.
Partnering with Communities
We work alongside community-led organizations, municipalities, First Nations, health authorities and other rights holders to build approaches that fit each community's context. What's available and suitable for an urban centre, likely isn't an option for rural and remote communities.
Driving Systemic Change
Drawing on international precedent, we propose bridge gap solutions while advocating for consistent access to care and support across the country.
We operate with the aim of reducing harm.
The paceKit is a supported forensic DNA self-collection kit and protocol. Used in a designated space with the supported of a trained staff member, it is intended to give Survivors more options for preserving DNA evidence. It complements existing services, and is built around the realities of access across rural, remote and underserved communities.
