women against abuse<br />
2010-2011 annual report

miSSiOn StAtement<br />
Revised by the Board of Directors in 2010<br />
the mission of <strong>Women</strong> against abuse<br />
is to provide quality, compassionate and<br />
nonjudgmental services in a manner that<br />
fosters self-respect and independence in<br />
persons experiencing intimate partner<br />
violence, and to lead the struggle to end<br />
domestic violence through advocacy and<br />
community education.<br />
Contributors, Colleagues and Friends:<br />
as we embark on our 35th year as a leading advocate for survivors<br />
of domestic violence, we celebrate our community partners, who<br />
work collaboratively to create a system of safety and support for<br />
each survivor.<br />
From working with law enforcement and hospitals to improve<br />
philadelphia’s response to domestic violence; to partnering with<br />
local schools to promote healthy teen relationships; to working<br />
with the City to provide safe housing for families that have fled<br />
their homes to escape from abuse, community partnerships<br />
underscore our work and are the key to our success.<br />
the support of community partners is essential to preserve our<br />
core services and continue to deepen our impact.<br />
over the past year, community leaders have partnered with us to<br />
raise nearly $2.5 million toward the renovation and expansion of<br />
Sojourner House, our transitional housing program. We extend<br />
our warmest thanks to the many legislators, and public and private<br />
grant makers that have joined us in this important initiative.<br />
this project will help to fulfill a critical need in philadelphia by<br />
providing additional domestic violence housing, and is a testament<br />
to the inspiring impact that a community of supporters can make.<br />
thank you for joining with us on the vitally important work of<br />
building peaceful communities, one family and one home at a time.<br />

Survivors were empowered to<br />
speak with state legislators on<br />
their own behalf.<br />

a presumed joint custody bill<br />
that would have endangered<br />
the safety of domestic violence<br />

needed to rehabilitate and<br />
expand Sojourner House.<br />

throughout the past year, <strong>Women</strong> <strong>Against</strong> <strong>Abuse</strong> has been<br />
involved in several collaborations designed to improve the<br />
City’s response to domestic violence. Highlighted here is a<br />
brief sampling of the agency’s many partnerships.<br />
one of the most significant initiatives is a police<br />
telephone outreach project that has the potential to<br />
decrease domestic homicides by creating early access<br />
to intervention and services for the more than 100,000<br />
domestic violence calls that police receive each year.<br />
<strong>Women</strong> against abuse worked with the philadelphia<br />
police Department and other community stakeholders<br />
to create a new reporting form for domestic violence<br />
police calls in order to capture evidence that can be<br />
used in court to hold abusers accountable. police are<br />
also providing <strong>Women</strong> against abuse with a safe<br />
number to reach the victim. through this partnership,<br />
<strong>Women</strong> against abuse is able to immediately contact<br />
the victim to offer safety planning and support. this<br />
pilot project has proven highly successful in three of<br />
the City’s six police divisions, and we are now seeking<br />
additional funding to continue this project and<br />
expand it citywide.<br />
<strong>Women</strong> against abuse has also made strides in the<br />
healthcare sector. the agency and its community<br />
stakeholders convened local hospital emergency<br />
department to develop a citywide best practice model<br />
for how healthcare personnel can screen for domestic<br />
violence among patients. In addition, the Hospital of<br />
the university of pennsylvania has added the <strong>Women</strong><br />
against abuse ipledge Campaign – an antiviolence<br />
initiative – to its discharge papers. through this<br />
partnership, the hospital’s 60,000 patients will have<br />
the opportunity to sign a pledge against using or<br />
condoning violence!<br />
