GFWC Signature Project:
Domestic Violence Awareness and Preparedness

BREAK THE SILENCENCE

Lee Kraus, District 12 Chaplain, and former District 12 Director, presented a very informative and heartfelt message on Domestic Violence Awareness at the November 2022 General Meeting

Domestic Violence Awareness and Preparedness is to increase awareness of and help prevent the widespread occurrence of domestic abuse in communities across the nation by supporting existing activities, working with various established programs, and initiating educational opportunities for club members and local cities. Also works to combat child abuse, teen dating violence and elder abuse.

IN HER SHOES

On Sept 17, 2022 members of the Rotonda West Woman’s club participated in the In Her Shoes scenario to get an idea of what domestic violence victims go through to obtain help and support. It was an eye-opening exercise. Please support the Charlotte County Center for Abuse and Rape Emergencies (C.A.R.E.)
