Atira Women's Resource Society, based in Vancouver, is a non-profit organization founded in 1983 to support women and children fleeing violence. Its work combines direct services with education and advocacy to raise awareness of gendered violence. Programs include long-term and transitional housing, shelter services, outreach and homelessness prevention, and supports for parents and children who witness abuse, as well as legal assistance and counseling. The organization emphasizes accessibility for individuals who identify as women and experience gendered violence, including trans, two-spirit, intersex, and femme-centered non-binary identities, and it acknowledges intersections with poverty, racism, substance use, and parenting challenges. Its service footprint spans Vancouver's Downtown Eastside and the surrounding Metro Vancouver communities of Burnaby, Surrey, White Rock, and Richmond. In 2026, the organization marked a notable development with the grand opening of Tung Sam Lau, a new location for its Atira Workers Housing Co-op in Vancouver's Victory Square.
