Diversity and Inclusion
The Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton (SACE) believes that unique and specialized services should be available to all people, regardless of ethnicity, heritage, faith, gender, culture, age, social and financial status, ability, or sexual orientation. To improve our services, promote equity, and increase inclusivity and accessibility, SACE has an Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Program dedicated to working collaboratively with community partners.
The Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Program builds relationships with diverse communities and reduces barriers to accessing SACE services through external committee work and information sharing, as well as organizing internal interdisciplinary committees dedicated to prioritizing the needs of identified communities within all SACE programming.
The committees and partnerships SACE is involved with include:
- ACT Alberta
- Chrysalis Society – An Alberta Society for Citizens with Disabilities
- Edmonton Addiction Youth Services
- Elizabeth Fry Society and Fort Saskatchewan Correctional Centre
- EFVC (Ethnocultural Family Violence Committee)
- EYOC (Edmonton Young Offenders Centre)
- Family Violence Prevention Proclamation Event Committee
- Institute for the Advancement of Aboriginal Women (IAAW)
- LIT (Lives In Transition)
- Millwoods Cultural Diversity Collaborative
- PARIVAAR (Peaceful Alliance Rejecting Injustice Violence and Advocating Respect)
