About SOWINS

Founded in 1981 by a group of passionate and concerned women, SOWINS emerged in response to the urgent need for services for women facing abuse and violence in the South Okanagan. Over the years, we have grown into a vital organization, continually expanding our programs to meet the changing needs of our community.

Our key programs include the PEACE Program, Child, Youth, and Family Program, Intake, Outreach and Advocacy, Second Stage Housing, Community-Based Victim Services, Stopping the Violence Counselling, Sexual Assault Response Team, and Mobile Outreach.

SOWINS is dedicated to providing a comprehensive wrap-around service model, working closely with other local organizations to ensure that those in need receive the highest quality care and support.
