Halifax fund has handed out $125,000 to help 182 domestic violence survivors since January
With six months left in the year, the Halifax YWCA says it has already drained nearly all of its fund for helping domestic violence survivors fleeing abuse as it fields 30 calls for help a day.
She said the majority of survivors of domestic violence at the Halifax YWCA say the top barrier to fleeing is “fear of violence or death. And then the second most common reason is financial viability.” Suokonautio says in her 10 years with the organization, they have never turned someone away who needed help, and she’s hopeful that donations will allow the YWCA to continue to provide financial support to survivors.
