The Renfrew County Committee for Abused Women (RCCAW) works to eliminate violence against women in the County of Renfrew.

We advocate for personal, systemic and community change that will end violence against women.

The membership of the RCCAW and its sub-committees consists of a diverse cross-section of community stakeholders including survivors of abuse, justice, non-profit, government, faith groups and private organizations. As a group we focus on prevention, education, systemic change, networking and service provision related to all forms of violence against women.

Did you know?

Every minute of every day, a Canadian woman or child is being sexually assaulted. (Canadian Women’s Foundation)
Of the almost 34,000 victims of spousal violence reported in 2000, women accounted for the majority of victims (85%): a total of 28,633 victims. (Canadian Women's Foundation)
Women living in rural areas are less able to hide from abusers because of the small size of their communities and a lack of privacy. As such, these women are particularly vulnerable to being stalked and harassed by abusers. (METRAC Stats sheet on Stalking)
