Our Mission
The commitment of Washington Women’s Shelter, Inc. is to strive for the personal growth and development of all women. Services are based on a concept of supportiveness, rejecting the idea that victims of domestic violence are “sick” or “different”. We recognize the vulnerability of all women,
including ourselves, to acts of sexual assault and domestic abuse.
We see the root cause of violence against women as lying in the institutionalized subservience of women, and seek to support and
involve in our program battered women and victims of assault.
Washington Women’s Shelter, Inc. was established to provide
supportive services on issues pertinent to women of all backgrounds to promote self-dependency and meet expressed needs. We seek to help women assume control over
their lives and to constantly define violence as an unacceptable means of control under any circumstances.
