Women Against Abuse, Inc

Overview

This nonprofit organization based in Philadelphia, established in 1976, is dedicated to providing comprehensive services to individuals experiencing intimate partner violence. It began as a part-time domestic violence hotline and has evolved into a leading advocate for ending domestic violence through direct support, advocacy, and community education.

The organization offers a variety of services, including a 24-hour Domestic Violence Hotline for crisis intervention and emergency shelter intake, emergency shelter programs for women and children, legal advocacy, and counseling services. It also focuses on community education and prevention programs, such as the SAFER™ curriculum, which promotes healthy relationships in schools. Serving a diverse population, primarily those living below federal poverty guidelines, the organization emphasizes quality, compassionate, and nonjudgmental services that foster self-respect and independence among survivors.
