Valuable Information

Violence against women is a global problem. In America, someone is assaulted every 90 seconds. Out of fear or shame only half of the domestic violence incidents are reported to the Police. Shocking and deplorable yet these are reports from DOJ from 2000 and 2001. Isn't it time for women to empower themselves? Isn't it time for women to take action to eradicate violence against women?
Please write these numbers down. If you or a friend are a victim of a violent crime call for help.

National Domestic Violence Hotline: 800-799-7233
• Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN): (800) 656-HOPE

24 Hour Confidential Rape Hotline.
• National Victim Center: 800-FYI-CALL (394-2255)

Operating 8:30AM-5:30PM EST, the NVC hotline helps locate assistance in your community if you have been the victim of a violent crime.
