Ishtar provides programs and services to assist women and children who have suffered from violence and abuse.
Ishtar was the first transition house in North America and has operated in the Central Fraser Valley since 1973. We currently have two transition homes in the Langley area.
The Society believes that no person should be subjected to any type of abuse. We believe that people have the right to personal autonomy; political, economic, and social equality; and the right to live free of violence and from other forms of abuse. Women's experiences, voices and wisdom are unique and vital to Society. The decision to leave an abusive relationship is respected. Members and staff of the Society believe that all women and children have the ability to reach their optimum level through strength, knowledge and courage.
Our programs include:
- Women's Counselling
-
PEACE - Program for children and youth experiencing violence
-
Community Based Victim Services
-
Stage One Emergency Housing

Our Vision - Feminist leaders working together locally to eliminate violence against women globally.

We work together locally for a world where all women and girls are safe emotionally, mentally, financially, physically, sexually, spiritually and culturally.
