The 4 funded key families of action: 

• Safe housing where women can rebuild their confidence and regain a stable life;
• Youth services to raise the awareness of youth about healthy relationships and the diversification of career choices;
• Employability programs to facilitate integrating into the workplace or school to ensure the participant’s financial autonomy and thus greater independence;
• Information and community support, whether through the Legal Information Clinic, workshops for caregivers or the skills development centre.
