Our mission is: To provide information, support, and counselling to those affected by sexual violence (sexual assault, sexual harassment, child sexual abuse, and incest) and dating violence. To work towards the eradication of sexual violence.
Our Anti-Oppression, Feminist-Based Framework: SVNB (formerly known as The Fredericton Sexual Assault Centre) supports victims of all genders, and recognizes that sexual violence is a form of gender based violence. We recognize that sexual violence is a result of misogyny, patriarchy, and inequality. We recognize that sexual violence can and does happen to anyone, and happens disproportionately to marginalized groups including cis and trans women, children, LGBTQ/ MOGAI people, people of colour, Aboriginal women, immigrant women, sex trade workers, and others. SVNB is trans* inclusive and is committed to maintaining safe spaces for all women.
SVNB offers an after-hours confidential sexual assault support line from 5pm-8am for anyone affected by sexual violence, or anyone supporting someone affected by sexual violence.
