is to combat violence against women in its varied forms. This includes but is not limited to the following: rape, incest, domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, exploitation, the trafficking of women and children, the abuse of migrant workers, intimidation at work, child abuse, harassment, and spousal abuse.

Some of the organizations we have worked with is:
Domestic Abuse Intervention Services (DAIS), Freedom Inc., It's On Us, and Promoting Awareness Victim Empowerment (PAVE).
