Taking a Stand: 24/1

Every minute, Twenty-four women experience a form of violence in the U.S. This type of social injustice issue impacts ALL women regardless of ethnicity, culture, and background; however, we will utilize this platform to shine light on how violence affects women of color, especially Black women. Join the Women's Resource Center for a virtual open forum discussion with Domestic Violence experts that will bring awareness to this issue.

Hey Everyone! We have some interesting events coming up soon. They will all be hosted on Zoom and the link will be released closer to the event date!

Hope to see you there 😊
