OTHER RESOURCES FOR ABUSED WOMEN, THEIR CHILDREN, AND OTHERS
The organizations listed on these pages offer support, guidance, and inspiration to abused women and others. There is also information in these resources for friends and family wishing to assist a woman who is being mistreated in a relationship, and for community activists seeking to confront the wider social problem of abuse and violence. Although most of these resources refer to “domestic violence” or “battering,” they are almost all equally relevant to women who have experienced verbal, economic, or sexual coercion.​
