PROVIDING WOMEN A SAFE PLACE TO LAND
He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired Haven.
Psalm 107:29-30

STATISTICS YOU SHOULD KNOW
RAPE
60% OF RAPE VICTIMS DON’T REPORT IT TO THE POLICE. 1 OUT OF 6 WOMEN HAVE BEEN THE VICTIM OF RAPE. 75% OF DATE AND ACQUAINTANCE RAPE INVOLVE ALCOHOL OR DRUG USE BY THE ASSAILANT. FOR THAT REASON WE WANT TO GET THE MESSAGE OUT THERE THAT ITS NOT THEIR FAULT, NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT LIE BEHIND IT. THEY’RE NOT GOING TO GET IN TROUBLE AND IT’S OKAY TO REPORT IT.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
ON AVERAGE 20 PEOPLE PER MINUTE ARE PHYSICALLY ABUSED BY AN INTIMATE PARTNER IN THE UNITED STATES. DURING ONE YEAR THIS EQUATES TO MORE THAN 10 MILLION PEOPLE. EVERY 9 MINS IN THE US SOMEONE IS ASSAULTED OR BEATEN. INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE ACCOUNTS FOR 15% OF ALL VIOLENT CRIMES. YOU ARE ALLOWED FREEDOM AND DON’T HAVE TO LIVE IN SHAME.
TEEN PREGNANCY
3 IN 10 AMERICAN GIRLS WILL GET PREGNANT AT LEAST ONCE BEFORE AGE TWENTY. THAT’S NEARLY 750,000 TEEN PREGNANCIES EVERY YEAR. PARENTHOOD IS THE LEADING REASON THAT TEEN GIRLS DROP OUT OF SCHOOL. LESS THAN 2% OF TEEN MOMS EARN A COLLEGE DEGREE BY THE AGE OF THIRTY. FOR THIS REASON WE WANT TO BE THEIR DRIVING SUPPORT.
EATING DISORDERS
EATING DISORDERS ARE AMONG THE DEADLIEST MENTAL ILLNESSES, SECOND ONLY TO OPOID OVERDOSE. 26% OF PEOPLE WITH EATING DISORDERS ATTEMPT SUICIDE. 9% OF THE US POPULATION WILL HAVE AN EATING DISORDER IN THEIR LIFETIME. 10,200 DEATHS EACH YEAR ARE THE DIRECT RESULT OF AN EATING DISORDER. ITS TIME FOR THIS TO CHANGE.
HOMELESSNESS
ACCORDING TO A 2018 POINT-IN-TIME SURVEY, MORE THAN 216,000 WOMEN ARE HOMELESS ON A GIVEN NIGHT IN THE UNITED STATES. 8.3 WOMEN EXPERIENCE HOMELESSNESS PER 10,000 PEOPLE IN THE GENERAL POPULATION.
