Women Walking For Women
Women Walking For Women
Within our society one in every four women is a victim of domestic violence. I already hear you saying why don’t they just leave. I also know that many of you out there understand it is not always that easy. Quite often these women don’t have the life skills to move out of this situation. They are also usually in isolated situations and have had their ties to community support severed, as well as ties to family and friends. Quite often there is a feeling of nowhere to turn.
The agencies that do provide support are government funded and often lack funding to provide the real multi level support and care, to get these women and their children out of long term dangerous realionships. Then provide them with education on making transitions and have them move back out into the community with little chance of returning to the negative situation, so the cycle continues.
We at toolz4life have a “dream.” We see women walking together to say,
Yes, to peace in the home, Yes, to environments free from violence, Yes, to supporting these women as they make better choices, Yes, to providing these women and their children with safe beds and shelter. Yes, to education and the acquisition of skills so all families may live in love and harmony.
How you can say YES!
