ABOUT FUTURES WITHOUT VIOLENCEFor more than 30 years, Futures Without Violence has been passionately dedicated
to ending all forms of violence against women and children. From domestic violence
and child abuse, to bullying and sexual assault, our groundbreaking programs, policy
development, and public action campaigns are transforming social norms, helping
survivors heal, and preventing violence from occurring. Futures Without Violence was at
the fore of the movement to pass the very first Violence Against Women Act in 1994, which
has provided a lifeline for thousands of survivors of domestic violence, dating violence,
sexual assault, and stalking. |
