    Koleinu SA protects our community from abuse by supporting victims, raising awareness, educating the public, and advocating for meaningful change.

    GET IN TOUCH

It can be frightening to talk about abuse.

Not talking about it is even more frightening.

​It’s easier to ignore abuse.
To tell ourselves it’s not our problem.
That it doesn’t happen in our community.

The truth: abuse happens.

Avoiding it allows abuse to flourish.
It forces victims to suffer in shame and silence.
It enables perpetrators to continue without consequences.

We’re here to change the story.

Koleinu stands up against abuse today to create a safer tomorrow.

We provide emotional support & practical guidance to victims of abuse and work to change the underlying issues that allow abuse to occur in the first place.

Koleinu is a registered Section 18A PBO.
