About SCARBOROUGH WOMEN'S CENTRE

Scarborough Women’s Centre is a unique community resource in Toronto East that welcomes women needing assistance to empower themselves, to become economically and emotionally independent, free of violence and abuse. We provide information, education and support services to assist women to overcome abuse, poverty, isolation, newcomer integration and other issues of marginalization. Women using the Centre are from all walks of life, economic situations, ethno-racial backgrounds and ages.

We have touched the lives of 170,000 women and their children since our inception in 1982, and serve 3000 women a year. The Centre received the City of Toronto’s Mayor's Community Safety Award in recognition of its work with abused women and their children.

In addition to the Centre’s onsite services, we run community outreach programs for young women at both high school and university levels, and for women with disabilities, providing workshops on topics like healthy relationships, self-esteem, and leadership.

The Centre relies on fundraising for half of its income. Your support to build brighter futures for women and girls is appreciated. Thank you!
