Every day, somewhere in Maryland, a woman is forced to flee her home to protect the lives of herself and her children. She has to walk away from everything that's familiar, be prepared for the legal ramifications, be strong for her kids and somehow start a new life while looking over her shoulder the whole time. That takes real courage and determination, and it also takes a huge toll on a person's energy and reserve. We believe no woman or child should be forced to take that walk alone. We lead the fight to end violence against women and their children, serving over 15,000 victims every single year, but we can't do it without your help.
