What we do…

Women of Worth assists families in crisis and domestic violence victims to increase self-reliance and improve quality of life by helping them rebuild their lives with dignity, hope and safety.

Impact • 30% of physical disabilities in women are the result of domestic violence. • Domestic violence is the single major cause of injury to women, more than muggings and car accidents combined.

Why we need to do what we do…

Sadly… • Domestic violence occurs in 60% of marriages and is the most under reported crime. • Most battered women never contact non-governmental organizations, shelters, or the police for help.

Even more sadly… • There are more shelters for animals in the United States, than shelters for women and children escaping domestic violence and human trafficking… Where can she go to be safe…?

Why we do what we do…

"The past few years have had many challenges and struggles, but the kindness your organization shared with my family erased some of the hurtful memories." - Susan

Why we do what we do…

"My husband was a master manipulator. Every time I would tell him I was leaving him because of his abuse of the kids and me, he would overdose on his medication… I had had enough. I called Women of Worth, and they moved the kids and me far away from this very sick man. I was loved and encouraged the whole way…and now my kids and I are safe." - Melanie
