To achieve our mission, we must break the
cycle of domestic violence and ignite social change through
advocacy, shelter and education.
Domestic Violence is part
of an historical pattern of violence and oppression that
disproportionately impacts women and children.
Domestic violence
affects those of all classes, genders, ethnicities, faith
communities, races, sexual orientations, ages
and different abilities.
Domestic violence is not limited to
physical abuse; it includes emotional financial, sexual,
spiritual and psychological
abuse. It is about power and control over others.
Domestic
violence is a crime and a violation of human rights.
Prostitution
is a form of violence against women and children.
Domestic
violence is a direct link to other forms of violence and
social problems.
Violence is a learned behavior and a choice.
Domestic violence
is not a private family matter; it is a community problem.
Our success is directly connected to working
with members of the community.
