Welcome to the AWRC
& SASA
Who We Are
The Antigonish Women’s
Resource Centre (AWRC) is a feminist, community-based women's
organization which opened in 1983. SASA stands for Sexual Assault Services
Association.
The Women’s Centre grew
out of the work of women in the community who wanted to address issues
facing women and adolescent girls and who wanted to provide
woman-centered services that support women in making positive changes
in their lives. Through our multi-issue, social change and service
provision mandate we address, in an integrated way, the broad and often
complex range of issues facing women and their children.
