And then the community must support them when they need.Stephanie Friezehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317117338063884811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456617944315372118.post-37204071799775485272008-04-25T14:32:00.000-07:002008-04-25T14:32:00.000-07:00Those services didn't exist when my mother needed ...Those services didn't exist when my mother needed them. It is important for women to know that they do have options today, they do have some place to go, that no one -- not a boyfriend, not a spouse, not a coworker -- no one has a right to abuse them in any way. <BR/><BR/>Support, safety, security, and a sense of direction are all available. <BR/><BR/>Reaching out to grab on to that lifeline is the biggest ostacle. <BR/><BR/>Every woman, every man, every human being should have a zero tolerance policy for violence and every other form that abuse manifests itself as today.Jaynie Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18030744076443715894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456617944315372118.post-45997560931507407062008-04-24T21:33:00.000-07:002008-04-24T21:33:00.000-07:00Thank you for all of your compliments, Joseph, Lor...Thank you for all of your compliments, Joseph, Lorraine, Kim and Stephanie! <BR/><BR/>WOMAN POWER - supporting women in NEED!Patty Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658792795439458891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456617944315372118.post-55875936267414180112008-04-24T18:45:00.000-07:002008-04-24T18:45:00.000-07:00WOMAN POWER FOREVER... the YW and YM do tremendous...WOMAN POWER FOREVER... the YW and YM do tremendous work... and affirming the dignity of women is a task I look forward to continuing both personally and professionally<BR/><BR/>GREAT POSTJosephMcGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13059894814761761857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456617944315372118.post-41332987314310211382008-04-24T08:24:00.000-07:002008-04-24T08:24:00.000-07:00Patty, I am sorry I couldn't get to this.
