State Domestic Violence Resources

Domestic violence is both a national and a worldwide crisis. According to a 2000 UNICEF study, 20-50 percent of the female population of the world will become the victims of domestic violence.(1)

Working in local communities, counties, and states, clubwomen can make a difference. Here is a list of resources available in individual states. Connect with your state's domestic violence partners to promote awareness and join them in providing services to victims of domestic violence.
