We will work in conjunction with our District Attorney, Local Representatives and Victim’s Services to develop a strategy to create a program that will help the victim and the children of victims of these circumstances. By doing so we can prevent re-victimization as well as the pattern of abuse repeating itself in their adult lives

Our Main focus will be on eliminating the abuse by educating & empowering women to lead non violent independent lives and to make our Community aware that Violence against women will not be tolerated or accepted.
