LCCEWA member organizations work in partnership to address violence against women and their children.  We do this by working collaboratively to address and bridge gaps, and to strengthen and improve services.  As well as supporting women, we are committed to learning together how to effectively engage men in order to increase safety for women and their children.

The committee is also a founding member of the Building a Bigger Wave provincial network of violence against women coordinating committees (www.buildingabiggerwave.org) and is committed to ongoing learning on domestic and sexual violence and other related issues.   We work collaboratively to address intersectional challenges, share knowledge, measure change, and to impact systems. 

Working in collaboration with the Southwest Regional VAW Coordinating Committee, the LCCEWA developed Snapshot 2018 as part of a regional strategy to engage and inform government and key stakeholders about the challenges and pressure points in our community.  The goal is to build a bigger wave of public attention to the epidemic of femicide and violence against women and children.
