At VLMFSS, our vision is to work together to end family violence. We believe that every woman and child has the right to feel safe in their home.
We want to create a nurturing and inclusive society where each refugee and immigrant woman and child is safe and has access to appropriate resources and support.
Through education, prevention and intervention we strive to create an environment of empowerment, healing and lasting positive change.
“VLMFSS helped me to start a new life in the most difficult time. I do not have anybody close to me in Canada, no relatives or friends I can turn to for help. This organization helped me in not feeling lonely, helpless and supportless. Now my daughter and I feel happy, I regained my self-esteem. Thank you.”
