Prince George Sexual Assault Centre responded to over 10,000 calls from 2021-22
The Prince George Sexual Assault Centre is one of the service providers contributing to the development of a provincial action plan to help end gender-based violence, support survivors, and promote healing, community awareness, and prevention.
The Prince George Sexual Assault Centre, along with the Elizabeth Fry Society, received grants to enhance services for survivors in the northern region, including around-the-clock emergency sexual-assault response, emotional and short-term crisis support, accompaniment to hospital, and safety planning.
Through the grant program, funding was also provided to the Native Courtworker and Counselling Association of British Columbia, and Carrier Sekani Family Services to enhance supports for Indigenous survivors in the region. Stable funding for sexual assault services is part of a multi-year action plan to help end gender-based violence that is being developed by the Ministry of Finance's Gender Equity Office and the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General.
