South Surrey and White Rock, B. C. – April 15 2024 – In Her Shoes, a charity fashion show that made waves at its debut last year, is back for its second year. To be held April 25 at West Coast Gardens in Surrey, the fundraiser’s goal is to generate $100, 000 for Sources Women’s Place. A community-funded centre operated by Sources Community Resources Society (SOURCES) in South Surrey/White Rock, Women’s Place offers free supports and resources to thousands of women in the community. Proceeds from the event will be used to increase the centre’s capacity and offer trauma counselling to more women.

Across BC, anti-violence service providers have reported an increase in gender-based violence along with a corresponding demand for help as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to UN Women, with 90 countries in lockdown, four billion people were sheltering at home because of COVID-19 during the month of April. While the lockdown was a necessary protective measure, unfortunately, it also brought with it a different danger since lockdowns increase isolation as well as time spent with an abusive partner. With tensions mounting from health and financial concerns, a lockdown can become a perfect storm for controlling, violent behaviour behind closed doors.

Sources Trauma Counselling Program is offering a Coping Skills Group this summer for people impacted by interpersonal violence, historical abuse and sexual assault. This Group is open to all people who identify as female including CIS, Transwomen, Two-Spirit & Non-Binary.

With more people staying at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, instances of domestic and interpersonal violence have increased. In response to this, Sources Trauma Counselling Program has launched a confidential telephone line for victims: 604-335-6035.
