The Kawartha Sexual Assault Centre (KSAC) provides healing, safety, and support to those affected by sexual violence and harm, and aims to end sexual violence through prevention education within our communities.
We work with local agencies to provide responsive healing supports and prevention education events. We are a feminist, not-for-profit, charitable organization dedicated to supporting those affected by sexual violence and harm. We work with people of all genders aged 16+ who have experienced any form of sexual violence or harm, whether recent or historic. This can include (but is not limited to) gender-based sexual violence, childhood sexual abuse, non-contact sexual abuse, sexual exploitation, workplace sexual harassment, other forms of sexual harassment, and all forms of sexual assault.
KSAC is proud to receive funding from the Ministry of Children and Community and Social Services, Government of Canada – Public Safety Canada, United Way, Trent University, Fleming College, Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Canadian Women’s Foundation, and the City of Peterborough.
The Kawartha Sexual Assault Centre offers multiple services to support people of all genders who have experienced any form of sexual violence and/or gender-based sexual violence, whether recent or historic. Our support services include:
