The BLACK WOMEN'S ANTI-VIOLENCE PROJECT

The Black Women's Anti-Violence Project offers counseling, services, and information to East Bay Black women of all ages, experiences and lifestyles who have experienced rape, beatings or incest. All services are completely confidential and are provided free of charge.

The Project is an outgrowth of broadly based concern over the escalating tradition of violence targeting Black women in our communities. It is a volunteer group of Black women, many of whom are survivors of violence, who have organized to help other Black women experiencing violence.

The Project has

objectives:

three primary

(1) to offer

free,

incest

confidential crisis assistance and counseling, (2) to raise consciousness of the wide ranging impact of rape, and beating of Black women and children and (3) to develop and implement strategies to eradicate this violent tradition.

A part of meeting these objectives has been to involve ourselves visibly within the community and through networking with other agencies.

If you are a Black woman who can donate an hour or two per week to this project, we would be very glad to have your experience and skills.
