The BC Society of Transition Houses (BCSTH) is a member-based organization that enhances the continuum of services and strategies to respond to, prevent, and end violence against women, children, and youth. They approach their work through an intersectional feminist framework. Their mission focuses on leadership, education, support, and collaboration to address violence against vulnerable populations.
BCSTH operates throughout British Columbia, supporting anti-violence workers across the province. The organization began in 1978 with 6 members and has grown significantly over the years. They now represent 65 Transition Houses, 28 Safe Homes, 29 Second Stage Programs, 3 Third Stage Programs, and 86 PEACE programs throughout BC.
