WomensLaw

WomensLaw is a project of the National Network to End Domestic Violence, which is a social change organization dedicated to creating a social, political and economic environment in which violence against women no longer exists. In 2001, the WomensLaw.org website was launched to provide state-specific legal information and resources for survivors of domestic violence. In 2002, WomensLaw.org added a confidential Email Hotline to offer direct support to survivors, their advocates, friends, and family members regarding domestic violence, sexual violence, or any other topic covered on WomensLaw.org. Today, more than 3.9 million unique users visit the website annually, and WomensLaw.org provides referrals and information to more than 5,000 individuals through the Email Hotline.
