SOWINS Walk to End Abuse
June 13, 2021
SOWINS – 40 years – Now More Than Ever.
2021 marks SOWINS 40th Anniversary of helping women and children in need in our communities. A year into the pandemic, we need your support now more than ever.
The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly amplified the risk to women and children. Opportunities to escape from abuse are more difficult to create due to a lack of resources; however, referrals and the need for care have increased by 20% in our community.
That’s why they are asking to show support by walking with your ‘bubble’ on Sunday, June 13 and together help break the silence and stop the violence in our community.
We need your help.

About SOWINS
It began in 1981 with a group of women concerned for women in their own community – Women experiencing intimate partner violence. There was no safe refuge, no Emergency housing or Transition House for women and children. There was only the concern and generosity of volunteers as they began to open their homes to ensure safety of those that needed a place to go.
As the need has grown, so have The South Okanagan Women in Need Society.
