Toronto Rape Crisis Centre/Multicultural Women Against Rape (TRCC/MWAR)

Calling all centre members/volunteers - come celebrate Pride with us!

Our annual Pride event this year will be taking place on June 21 in collaboration with , , and , and will include a light brunch, poster-making, marching, panels, performances, and even dinner! There are limited spots so make sure to reach out and register by June 15. See you there! 🌈

Next up in our pets of TRCCMWAR feature is Betty!

Betty is a leopard gecko and a Toronto born and raised baddie. She was pregnant when she first arrived to her home, so she’s deeply attuned to the importance of consent and bodily autonomy. She enjoys eating worms, climbing around her enclosure, and taking restorative naps.

She’s obviously a little different, but she wears her difference as a reminder that all creatures, no matter how unusual, demand and deserve respect. And even though she’s a reptile, she makes her boundaries - and they’re not up for debate - very clear.

Pets play a very important role in many of our collective members’ lives, and we’ve loved giving some of them the spotlight with our pets of TRCCMWAR feature! If you’re a collective member who’d like your pet featured, send us a DM!

This National Volunteer Week, we want to shoutout our incredible volunteers!

Our collective of volunteers are the backbone of TRCCMWAR. From our front desk, to our crisis line, to our social media, you’ll find volunteers behind so much of what we do.

We extend our sincerest gratitude to each and every TRCCMWAR volunteer for your commitment to TRCCMWAR and to supporting survivors. We appreciate you!
