Peel Committee Against Woman Abuse

The Peel Committee Against Woman Abuse is a group of individuals representing various agencies in the Region of Peel. PCAWA's mandate is to promote comprehensive and effective response to Violence Against Women (VAW) or Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in the Region of Peel.

PCAWA defines VAW as the actual or threatened physical, psychological, sexual, financial, verbal, or spiritual abuse of a woman by someone with whom she has/or has had an intimate, familial or romantic relationship, as well as violence occurring outside of any familiar relationship such as violence perpetrated by a stranger or in the context of labour or other trafficking.

NOTE: The PCAWA's membership also included a range of agencies working with diverse survivors of interpersonal violence or systemic violence, including folks who are gender diverse (Two-spirit, non-binary or intersex), and we acknowledge that the term VAW does not fully encompass all the kinds of anti-violence work that members do.

Inclusive of women & gender non-conforming folks
