In this powerful episode of United Voices, we sit down with Sara Casselman from the Sexual Assault Support Centre of Waterloo Region (SASC) to explore the rising crisis of gender-based and sexual violence in our community. We talk about the realities of sex trafficking, intersectionality, and the devastating effects of shelter closures on women, girls, and gender-diverse people seeking safety. Through a trauma-informed, anti-racist, and survivor-centred lens, Sara shares how SASC supports survivors with care, advocacy, and community connection. This episode is a call to awareness, action, and empathy. If you care about building a safer, more equitable future, this conversation is for you.
