I'm
doing a school project on Domestic
Violence, and I need to interview
someone that either works with
battered women or knows about
Domestic Violence. I was just
wondering if anyone there would
know of anyone that I could
interview like shelters or anything
thing like that or possibly
if anyone there could answer
my questions. Thank you for
your time. Sincerely, Rebecca

Thanks
for choosing to do your report
on such an important issue.
While there are many important
issues, domestic violence is
one in particular that won't
go away until we talk more about
it. So your report will hopefully
open up some of those lines
of communications.
I'm not the best person for
you to talk to directly about
your report, but I do have suggestions:
-
At FEMINIST.COM there
is a database
of women's groups around the
country--included battered
women's shelters. Here you
can locate the shelter nearest
to you. Perhaps you can contact
that shelter to learn more.
You might also check out our
section of Violence
Against Women links .
- Look
at the information at V-Day
which has violence against
women resources and information.
Perhaps this will lead you
to the information you are
looking for and individuals
to potentially talk to.
-
I have a good friend who volunteers
at Victim Services
(2 Lafayette Street, New York,
New York 10007; Hotline: #212-577-7777).
She runs a support group mostly
for battered women. I could
put you in touch with her.
If you choose this option,
please contact me and I will
out you in touch with her.
