The NLSACPC is requesting your feedback in this anonymous survey to inform our planning around Sexual Violence Awareness (SVA) Week going forward.

SVA Week happens each year across Canada and beyond. In NL it is acknowledged in September and aims to enhance community awareness, education, and understanding around this issue.

The purpose of this survey is to gather input for 2021 and beyond.

Given Covid-19, this year may require some unique approaches that align with public health guidelines. 

This survey will remain open until July 7, 2021.
THANK YOU for your time and input! As a non-profit organization, our resources and capacity are limited. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to do everything that is suggested, but we will do our absolute best to respond to the priorities identified through this survey.

The NLSACPC is a non-profit, community-based, charitable organization that exists to support individuals of all genders who have been impacted by sexual violence in Newfoundland and Labrador.
If you are in need of support our volunteers are available 24/7 at 1-800-726-2743
