The BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres works for and on behalf of our 25 Friendship Centres. Their success and longevity will always be our goal.
Our work and advocacy strives to ensure our Friendship Centres and their staff are informed, supported, and able to care for and empower their communities.We are here to improve the well being and advance the rights of Indigenous people. We do what we say we are going to do and we do it well.
BCAAFC and BWSS, in partnership with the University of Victoria, engaged in a community-based research project involving surveys and first-hand interviews to understand, raise awareness, and engage in advocacy about the experiences of intimate partner violence that Indigenous women and gender diverse people are facing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
