Raising Awareness of Violence Against Women
Recognizing that violence against women sees no color, socio-economic status, ethnicity, age or sexual preference, we educate and empower through our national and local programming that:
Every Woman has a RIGHT
To live free of intimidation
To freely express her ideas or opinions
To make her own choices
To equal privilege
To receive justice and tell her "story" without prejudice
​
Our Philanthropy encompasses all forms of injustices and violent acts encountered by women every day, including but not limited to: Sexual Harassment, Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, Female Genital Mutilation, and Human Trafficking. In past years, some of our National Campaigns have included the 10-for-10: Raising funds for Domestic Violence Awareness (DV). Each entity collected individual donations of $10 from family and friends for 10 weeks. A portion of the proceeds were donated to NCADV.
Ray of Hope Walk (ROHW)
Going into its 7th year, the Ray of Hope Walk to End Violence Against Women (ROHW) aims to raise awareness of a global epidemic affecting the lives of women, children, and families. Every 15 seconds a woman is physically assaulted by an intimate partner. In the United States, over 22 million women have been victims of sexual assault in their lifetime. The ROHW will shed light on the various forms of violence against women and girls, and also raise funds to assist organizations working towards ending gender based violence. Our hope is to continue expanding the walk until the movement becomes Nationwide.
