EDMONTON, AB – The provincial government is making an investment to support survivors of rural sexual violence.
The $1.2 million in funding will help bring new services like counselling, crisis response and outreach supports to rural communities in Alberta, where those types of supports are currently not available.
Minister of Community and Social Services Rajan Sawhney said that, “survivors of sexual violence deserve dignified and compassionate front-line service regardless of where they live in the province.”
“This funding will not only help ensure people in rural Alberta have access to these critical supports, but it will also offer hope of recovery for victims of abuse.”
