Anova is working toward a Future Without Violence. We believe in an inclusive world of shared power where everyone lives freely without fear of violence.
Rooted in the pillars of safety, support, advocacy, and education, we provide shelter, counselling, crisis response, and resources for individuals impacted by gender-based violence.
We are working to create change to eliminate patriarchal patterns that result in gender-based violence and inequality. Our trauma-informed and inclusive services meet people where they are—offering paths to healing, hope, and change.
We’re here to help people find safety today and build strength for tomorrow.
