As part of the Western Canada Sexual Assault Initiative (WCSAI), EVA BC undertook a gender-based needs assessment and analysis in partnership with community-based anti-violence programs in five regions of BC: The Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, Okanagan/Kootenays, the North West, and the North East. The needs assessment explored the effectiveness of support services, with an
emphasis on groups of girls and women who are particularly vulnerable to sexual violence.
