Judy Postmus, Director, Center on Violence Against Women and Children |
The IWL consortium now includes nine participating members. In January, the Institute board voted unanimously and enthusiastically to approve the Center's request to join the IWL consortium.
Founded at the Rutgers School of Social Work in 2007 by Judy Postmus, associate professor and center director, the mission of the Center on Violence Against Women & Children (VAWC) is to strive to eliminate physical, sexual, and other forms of violence against women and children and the power imbalances that permit these forms of violence.
"The addition of the Center on Violence Against Women and Children brings an important dimension to IWL 's work on advancing women's leadership for social justice. The outstanding energy and leadership of Dr. Judy Postmus is an important addition to our consortium. We are delighted to welcome her and look forward to building collaborative programs," said Alison Bernstein, IWL Director.
