$500 in funding was awarded to the Domestic Abused Services of Oxford (DASO). The money was divvied up between several organizing agencies that was raised through a 2011 Sex Offender Registration Conference. in conjunction with the Woodstock Police Service, The OPP, and the Niagara Regional Police Departments. DASO Executive Director Rhonda Hendel says the money will go towards services and programs for sexual assault victims. Hendel says the statistics are all too alarming "it's the same everywhere. It's probably more than what a lot of people realize. Most sexual assaults go unreported depending on the community. An estimated between 70 and 90 percent go unreported. It's often a shame that someone lives with for a very long time feel that they brought it upon themselves that they shouldn't have been where they were or they shouldn't of been acting the way they were when it is not their fault". Hendel says the services and programs are offered to Oxford County women 16 years of age and over. DASO sees about 75 women a year.
