Приєднався 14 лип 2016
Women's Advocates was the first shelter for domestic violence victims in the United States. Today we work to break the cycle of violence through violence prevention education, crisis intervention and safety planning, emergency shelter for women and children fleeing violence, and sustained safety for former residents of our shelter through aftercare programming.
