One Door

One Door is a podcast about courage, survival, and the urgent need to change how we respond to violence against women. For more than 40 years, the Antigonish Women’s Resource Centre has been a place of safety, support, and connection for women, youth, and families across the community. But the reality is clear: violence against women is not a private issue, a rare issue, or someone else’s issue. It is an epidemic that reaches into homes, workplaces, schools, families, and communities, often quietly, often invisibly, and far too often without the coordinated support people need when they are ready to ask for help. This series tells the stories behind that need. Through conversations with frontline workers, survivors, advocates, community leaders, and those working to build a better future, One Door explores what it really takes to support women and families experiencing violence, trauma, poverty, housing insecurity, legal barriers, and isolation. At the heart of the series is a bold vision: a $5 million campaign to create a first-of-its-kind collaborative hub in Antigonish. A safe, dignified, supportive place where women and families can access coordinated, wraparound support behind One Door.
