The Rotary Club of Mississauga was pleased to participate and support in the Coldest Night of the Year for Armagh Mississauga.
Armagh is a second stage, transitional supportive housing program. Unlike a first stage or crisis shelter(which responds Ho short-term emergencies) they offer secure and affordable housing to abused women, with or without children, for extended periods of time.
Violence against women is the intentional use of tactics that give a person power and control over a woman by creating fear and/or dependency. Women often remain in abusive environments because they have minimal family support, financial means or housing alternatives. Armagh has a collection of helpful community resources, contact information for crisis lines and shelters, and information on other community resources.
