The Fight
Every day, 20,000 calls are placed to domestic violence hotlines. Domestic Abuse Advocates are on the front line of domestic abuse and are often the difference between life and death.
The Solutions
Through grants, donations, and volunteering, We are able to assist these women in the most fragile times of their lives. Continued community support is crucial to our ability in serving the women and children who have fallen victim to domestic abuse.
silent witness
IN 1990, A GROUP OF VOLUNTEERS, UPSET ABOUT THE GROWING NUMBER OF WOMEN IN MINNESOTA MURDERED BY THEIR PARTNERS FELT AN URGENCY TO DO SOMETHING TO HONOR THE LIVES OF 26 WOMEN WHO HAD DIED IN 1990 BECAUSE OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
“You can recognize survivors of abuse by their courage. When silence is so very inviting, they step forward and share their truth so others know they aren’t alone.”
