Spirit of Woman

We are dedicated to preventing family violence, reducing shame and stigma by shedding light on the hidden stories of abuse and providing pathways to healing and empowerment. In a world where family violence often lurks in the shadows of shame and stigma, SoW aims to shatter the cloak of silence that envelops family violence. Our mission is twofold: to prevent family violence and to educate the community and those impacted by it. Through our advocacy, outreach, and educational initiatives, we strive to challenge misconceptions, foster empathy, and empower survivors to speak their truth and for perpetrators seek help. A key part of our work is the creation of a public monument— The Place of Courage, which is a tangible symbol of remembrance, resilience, and hope. This monument will serve as an ongoing powerful and tangible reminder of society’s responsibility to end family violence and as public recognition for those who have been affected by it.
