About Us
Fourwords Solutions is a social enterprise committed to making a lasting impact in the space of sexual assault prevention and response. With a combined 22 years in the Gender-Based Violence sector, we are passionate about systemic change and believe that everyone deserves access to justice and healing, regardless of their geographical location, circumstance or background.
​
Our team resides across the territories of the LÉ™k̓ʷəŋən, W̱SÁNEĆ, Lheidli T'enneh peoples in what is currently known as British Columbia.
​
Note: We use the term “Survivor” as an inclusive term for anyone who has experienced sexual assault. We respect each individual’s right to choose how they wish to identify, and recognize that not all people who have experienced sexual assault identifies as a Survivor.
