What you can do in
your community to make
a difference
- Learn more about violence against women
and its impact on women in your community: read articles, listen
to radio programs, watch TV documentaries, attend community events
about abused women.
- Volunteer at an organization that works
with and for abused women. Provide transportation, raise funds,
donate clothing, offer your time.
- Practice and support relationships of
respect, co-operation and equal partnerships in families.
Challenge relationships that are built on power and control over
women and children.
- Work with others in your community to
develop more and better services for abused women and their
children - support groups, crisis fines, emergency
shelters.
