Investing in Women’s Futures
Through the Investing in Women’s Futures program, the OWD supports initiatives in 25 women’s centres located in communities across Ontario.

Services at the centres vary and include:
- Employment and entrepreneurial training and support
- Safety planning for women experiencing abuse
- Public education to prevent violence against women
