 If you are in immediate danger we urge you to dial 911.
If you need a referral to your closest Domestic Violence Program,
you can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at
1-800-799-SAFE twenty-four hours a day, 7 days a week.
If you are currently in an abusive relationship, be aware that
your abuser can track where you've been on the internet on a home
computer.
Email is NOT a secure way to communicate with us because most email
systems store sent emails that can be later retrieved by your
abuser.

"...I believe it is most
urgent for this movement's future to declare that
violence against women is a political problem, a
question of power and domination, and not an
individual, pathological, or deviant one. Continuing
to make violence against women public is itself a
crucial continuing task. We also must become a
movement led by battered women, women of color, and
working class women. We must develop a progressive
agenda, a long range vision of what kind of society
is needed so that violence against women would not
exist, and to ally with groups sharing a vision of a
just society....."
