New Hope for Women provides services in Lincoln, Knox and Waldo counties to battered women, their children and all people affected by
domestic and
dating violence. Our commitment is equally divided between
direct services and prevention services.
New Hope for Women, together with committed community individuals and groups, works for social change. We endeavor to end domestic violence and to improve the quality of life for battered women, their children, and all people affected by domestic and dating violence. We believe that domestic abuse and other acts of violence against women are directly connected to sexism, racism, homophobia, religious bigotry and other forms of control. Domestic violence is the systematic use of behaviors by one individual in a relationship to control another. New Hope for Women believes that an imbalance of power is the root of all forms of oppression. Our mission and vision statements were adopted by the Board of Directors in 2000.
