Women Helping Women
Information from https://www.womenhelpingwomen.org/ website
Women Helping Women is a social justice agency. By that fact—as an anti-violence agency we know and we come to the calling of service that violence anywhere is vile and unacceptable. Violence dehumanizes. Violence abuses. Violence causes generations of trauma. Violence kills. So does silence.
So we will keep speaking up. Our history, our values, and our current reality demand that we speak up.
We speak up because our movement was started by women of color. We speak up because we serve nearly 8,700 survivors and the vast majority of survivors that we serve are African American. We speak up because honoring our movement and driving our mission means calling out the inequities, the disparities, and the absolute violence that people of color have and continue to experience. We are an agency that believes in — and more importantly— acts on serving ALL survivors and has specific focuses on marginalized survivors—and we must speak up.
Founded in 1973, Women Helping Women (WHW) prevents gender-based violence and empowers all survivors. WHW provides evidence-based prevention and expert crisis intervention and support services for survivors of dating violence, sexual violence, domestic violence and stalking in Hamilton and Butler, Ohio Counties (including sexual violence crisis services to Brown and Adams Counties). WHW operates from a public health framework that is survivor-centric and promotes diversity and inclusion as core operating values. WHW meets the needs of our region and serves over 15,000 clients annually.
