Survivors deserve ongoing access to justice!

In March 2026, federal funding for Independent Legal Advice (ILA) and Independent Legal Representation (ILR) for survivors of sexual assault and intimate partner violence is set to end.

If this funding is not renewed, survivors across Canada may lose access to trauma-informed legal supports - supports that help them understand their rights and safely navigate criminal, family, immigration, and civil legal systems. In the last year alone, nearly 10,000 survivors relied on these services.

This isn’t just a funding issue. It’s about safety, dignity, and trust in systems that survivors are already forced to navigate with enormous barriers. National reports - including Rethinking Justice (2025) - have been clear: legal supports reduce re-traumatization and improve access to justice.

SAVIS is proud to stand alongside 100+ organizations across Canada in signing a joint letter calling on the federal government to:
- Provide immediate bridge funding beyond March 31, 2026
- Commit to permanent, sustainable funding for ILA & ILR
- Meet with service providers to protect survivor-centred justice

Survivors deserve more than short-term pilot programs.�They deserve ongoing access to justice - now and always!

As we’ve newly entered into 2026, SAVIS invites you to lead with compassion - for yourself and for others. 💜

The start of a new year can bring many emotions. Self-care doesn’t have to look like big changes or resolutions. It can be gentle, flexible, and grounded in what helps you feel safe and supported.

Whether that means resting, setting boundaries, reaching out for support, or simply taking things one day at a time, your care matters. Healing is not linear, and there is no “right” pace.

This year, we encourage compassion over pressure and care over perfection. You deserve support, understanding, and kindness. 💜

FOG - Fear, Obligation, and Guilt - can keep survivors feeling trapped in abusive situations.

These feelings are not a sign of weakness. They are the result of manipulation and control, and they can make it difficult to recognize harm, trust your instincts, or see a way forward.

Understanding FOG helps validate survivors’ experiences and reminds us that these feelings are real, common, and never their fault.

Everyone deserves safety, support, and a life free from violence. 💜
