The third week of October is the global Week Without Violence, with YWCA locations across the country coming together to end violence against women and girls.
To mark the week, the YWCA Lethbridge and District is spreading awareness about public transportation safety.
"Things like being able to jump on a bus if you're trying to flee a situation locally and knowing that you'll be transported safely, and there's access to 911 on that bus." " drivers can activate emergency response button that tie directly into 911 centre, so we can get police, fire or EMS responding for a sort of emergency."
"When I initially first took over here, this was probably our number one place that had the most stars on the map for problem issues, and it's definitely not that anymore," he said.
