VAW Emergency Shelter, Stand alone Transitional/ Second Stage Housing, Sexual Assault Centre, Regional Crisis Line/Help Line, Community-based advocacy services
At Anova, we believe an inclusive world of shared power where everyone lives freely without fear of violence is possible. We are working to create change to eliminate patriarchal patterns that result in gender-based sexual violence and inequality. We are the product of a merger between London’s Women’s Community House and Sexual Assault Centre London, to provide improved services to our community. Anova provides safe places, shelter, support, counselling, and resources for abused women, their children, and all oppressed individuals to find a new start.
