Shahnaz Rahman, Executive Director of Surrey Women’s Centre says:
"There is a short critical window of opportunity to intervene if we want to increase survivor’s safety and keep the offender accountable. Regardless of the path survivors may choose regarding reporting the violence to the police or not, Surrey Women’s Centre walks alongside them every step of the way in their journey to safety and freedom from fear. Surrey Women’s Centre takes pride in our partnership with Surrey RCMP to coordinate the best care of survivors who are the highest risk of violence with a potential to fatal outcomes. Through this incredible partnership lives have been saved and we have first-hand seen the positive impact it has had on our clients."
