Woman Abuse Council of Toronto

The Woman Abuse Council of Toronto (WomanACT) is a policy development and planning body that coordinates an efficient and effective approach to providing services for assaulted women and their families. The general council is made up of senior level representatives of each of the key sectors in the community response to woman abuse.
