Since it’s conception, the AWRCSASA have worked tirelessly to support victims of sexual assault and violence and raise awareness in community. Through collaborations with partners in our broader community, such as St. Francis Xavier University and Paqtnkek Mi’kmaw Nation, we’ve helped develop programs and projects to respond to the needs of our community. A major component of this work is sexual violence prevention and bystander intervention, which we encourage through the peer facilitated Waves of Change program in Nova Scotian post-secondary institutions.
