I am a community development worker in British Columbia, Canada. My focus is working with rural, remote and isolated communities to support the development of coordination initiatives focusing on responses to incidents of violence against women. I've been doing this type of work for over ten years in BC.
There is a wonderful rural based program on Saltspring Island, BC that is called Saltspring Women Opposed to Violence and Abuse (SWOVA). They have trained a group of teens to train teens anti-violence techniques in the schools. The project is called "Freedom from Fear" and has produced a work book that has been distributed to every high school in British Columbia. Their contact information is: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. I attended one of their trainings and was very impressed with their gendered focus.
