The London Coordinating Committee on Family Violence (now LCCEWA) was founded in 1980 as an advisory committee to address the concerns raised by a research study on abused women who had called the police and raised concern about the lack of support from the police for themselves, the abuser and the children.
2020 marks the 40th anniversary of collaboration, leadership and actions that achieve social justice for women, and an integrated response to abused women and their children.
Throughout 2020 we will host a range of community events that:
Celebrate & highlight 40 years of community collaboration & successes
Raise the profile of LCCEWA community organizations
Raise awareness of domestic violence, sexual violence & human trafficking
Join us for our conference & gala on November 20th at the Four Points Sheraton.
We’re thrilled to announce that the keynote speaker for the conference - Resistance, Resiliency & Reconciliation – is Senator Murray Sinclair who served the justice system in Manitoba for over 25 years. He was the first Aboriginal Judge in Manitoba, was Chief Commissioner of the Truth & Reconciliation Commission, and was appointed to the Senate in 2016.
We’ll end the day with our celebratory gala featuring Sarah Smith and her all-woman band the Sheatles.
Stay tuned for more details and join us in celebrating with us in 2020.
