Administrative history

In 1988 a group of women who sought to provide support to victims of sexual assault at the community level came together to form the Brant Sexual Assault Awareness Committee. They aimed to increase any services that existed for sexual assault victims; educate Brant County residents regarding the extent of sexual assault, and to advocate for the development of local services. In 1990, funding from the Ontario Women's Directorate and Secretary of State enabled a survey to be carried out, the results of which overwhelmingly called for sexual assault services to be established. In 1991 under the NDP government the Sexual Assault Centre of Brant was formed and it continues to offer this support today to women in Brant County who are survivors of sexual violence and to the people who support these survivors. They offer individual and group counselling, public education, advocacy, resources, and accompaniments to the court, police, or hospital. All of their services are open to women 16 and over in Brant County. The crisis line is open to survivors of sexual violence (female or male) or a friend or family member of someone who has experienced sexual violence.

En 1988, un groupe de femmes désireuses d'apporter un soutien aux victimes d'agressions sexuelles au niveau communautaire se sont réunies pour former le Brant Sexual Assault Awareness Committee (Comité de sensibilisation aux agressions sexuelles de Brant). Leur objectif était d'accroître les services existants pour les victimes d'agression sexuelle, d'éduquer les résidents du comté de Brant sur l'étendue des agressions sexuelles et de plaider en faveur du développement de services locaux. En 1990, un financement de la Direction générale de la condition féminine de l'Ontario et du Secrétariat d'État a permis la réalisation d'une enquête dont les résultats réclamaient massivement la mise en place de services d'aide aux victimes d'agressions sexuelles. En 1991, sous le gouvernement néo-démocrate, le Sexual Assault Centre of Brant a été créé et il continue aujourd'hui à offrir son soutien aux femmes du comté de Brant qui ont survécu à des violences sexuelles et aux personnes qui soutiennent ces survivantes. Il offre des conseils individuels et de groupe, une éducation publique, une défense des droits, des ressources et un accompagnement au tribunal, à la police ou à l'hôpital. Tous ses services sont ouverts aux femmes de 16 ans et plus du comté de Brant. La ligne d'écoute téléphonique est ouverte aux survivants de la violence sexuelle (hommes ou femmes) ou à un ami ou un membre de la famille d'une personne ayant subi des violences sexuelles.
