violence and sexual assault destroy families and homes. Beyond the physical injuries and pain,
power and control are used to intimidate, threaten, isolate, and
financially and emotionally trap victims.
The effects of domestic violence
and sexual assault leave life-long negative impacts on children.
Domestic
violence and sexual assault know no boundaries and affect all
socio-economic classes, age levels, and ethnic groups. Mission
Statement The
mission of The Women’s Community is to provide specialized services and
resources to people in central Wisconsin affected by domestic violence,
sexual assault and unemployment. Our goal is to help individuals and families attain greater
emotional and economic self-sufficiency. Vision
Statement TWC
is a model organization that empowers communities and individuals who have
survived the effects of violence and oppression through the provision of
quality programming, advocacy, and education.
The ultimate goal is to reduce/eradicate violence.
