About The Project

The Feminist Collective Project, funded by Women And Gender Equality Canada, is a community based project overseen by Revive, and executed by the independent research team at Purple Pearl Research Collective.

Revive offers trauma-informed support and resources to help survivors of domestic abuse and sexual assault on their path to healing.

Aside from an essential contribution to this project, Revive also continues to provide a wide range of resources designed to support survivors at every stage of their recovery journey.

The Importance of this Work

Every 36 hours a women-identifying person in Canada is killed.

Every 6 days a women-identifying person is killed by her intimate partner in Canada.

We believe that truly valuing the voices of our community members means listening what they tell us, to do our part in improving access to resources, services and to help improve the quality of life for our community overall.

Issues like poverty, addiction, disability, lack of access to education, precarious employment, income, housing, social status, citizenship status, and language barriers are just some of the factors that contribute to the amount of time it takes an individual to leave an abuser.
