THE FACTS: One in three women nationwide reports being physically or sexually abused by a husband or boyfriend at some point in their lives. One in four women murdered in this country dies at the hands of a husband or boyfriend.

Our Program


WE Act to end violence against women by encouraging them to learn the warning signs of all types of violence including physical, sexual and emotional abuse. We ask them to act now in their own lives and to support domestic violence shelters and other programs to fight violence against women.

 

Our Partners

 

We will continue to strengthen our organizational partnerships with California domestic violence programs in 2009. We will also work with statewide education programs to raise awareness about the warning signs of all forms of violence against women, including physical, sexual and emotional abuse.

 

 

 

 

We are working with organizations dedicated to educating and engaging boys and girls in their teenage years to understand the warning signs of dating violence. Boys are often times left out of the discussion and we will include them as we help young people navigate dating and relationships in a healthy way. It is clear that young people may not truly understand what a healthy relationship is and we will work to change that.

 

 

 

We will continue to use our WomensConference.org website to raise awareness, share stories and provide dynamic content in order to engage our thriving community on behalf of women suffering from the devastating effects of violence.

 

Our Goal

To reduce the number of women suffering from the devastating impact of all forms of violence against them, here at home and across the world.
