Abstract: This report contains statistics on the use of women’s shelters in the province between April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013. The statistics show that there is an increasing demand on Albertan women’s shelters because of the lack of accessible support for abused women and their children. Between April 2012 and March 2013, the number of women admitted to women’s shelters in the province decreased by approximately 200. However, the number of women that were turned away from shelters during that period is substantially higher than it was during the previous year.
