A WOMAN FACING HONOR VIOLENCE MAY HAVE ONLY ONE CHANCE TO SEEK HELP
With decades of experience in addressing gender-based violence, we know that every honor violence case is uniquely complex, sensitive and requires multi-agency coordination to ensure the safety of a woman or girl. When a girl or a woman reaches out for help, it is critical that we are prepared to respond swiftly and effectively.
