The life-saving work that Women Against Abuse achieves each day would not be possible without the support of advocates in the community.

Jamie shared her story at the 2019 iPledge Campaign press conference.

Ingresar al albergue seguro de Women Against Abuse, realmente irse para siempre, fue la culminación de 10 años de abuso en la relación; más discusiones, amenazas y noches sin dormir de las que Natalie* podría contar.
