Did you know that one in four women in Halton has experienced at least one incident of violence at the hands of a boyfriend or husband?

Through this funding priority, United Way of Oakville funds programs that deal directly with helping people who have experienced personal violence.  This is an issue that crosses all boundaries – socio-economic, culture, age, etc.   Supporting those in crisis also includes a focus on addictions, violence, abuse and mental illness.
