women

Be strong enough to stand alone,
smart enough to know when you need help,
brave enough to ask for it.

Women Against Abusive Relationships (WAAR) is an awareness, education, and prevention program. We teach participants how to identify signs of abusive personalities and how to have a healthy relationship. We also offer empowerment activies to help victims and survivors of intimate partner violence and sexual violence make informed choices necessary for healthy relationships.

Mission

WAAR's mission is to break the cycle of violence against women and girls.

Vision

WAAR visualizes a world where women and girls are treated with dignitiy and respect.
