Voices of Women Organizing (VOW) is a community-based organization in Brooklyn, NY that empowers women who have survived abuse to actively participate in solving problems that affect them. Through their work, VOW aims to end domestic violence by giving survivors a strong and significant voice in policy reform, holding abusers accountable, and changing systems to better meet the needs of abused women and their children.
VOW members, representing the diverse population of NYC women, including African American, Latina, white, Asian, immigrant, lesbian, and disabled women, work together to improve policies and practices that affect battered women. With training and support from VOW, survivors document system failures, provide testimony, and develop recommendations for change, ultimately influencing and improving the response to domestic violence.
