Who We Are
Renfrew County is located in
the Ottawa Valley region of
Ontario, Canada
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.
