Episode Synopsis

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.For more information about SASC visit their website at: Sexual Assault Support Centre Waterloo Region - We Support Survivors of Sexual Violence.
