“We are a privileged country. We have the means to do better.” – Deb Singh, Toronto Rape Crisis Centre/Multicultural Women Against Rape
“We have dealt with one crisis after another, which means that today, after 33 years of existence, our waiting list has never been so long.” – Sara Casselman, Sexual Assault Support Centre of Waterloo Region

.” – Nicole Pietsch, OCRCC
