ADDITIONAL RESOURCES ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

The Toolkit to End Violence Against Women, created by the National Advisory Council on Violence Against Women and the United States Department of Justice’s Violence Against Women Office, provides concrete anti-violence strategies for advocates, legal and medical professionals, members of the clergy, the media, and educational institutions.

VAWNet, the University of Minnesota’s Violence Against Women Online Resources, and the Minnesota Center Against Violence and Abuse’s (MINCAVA) Electronic Clearinghouse are excellent gateways to articles, studies, brochures, manuals, fact sheets, research, and information packets on domestic violence.

Many U.S.-based battered women’s organizations, including CASA, Coos County Women’s Crisis Service, the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, the Family Violence Prevention Fund, and the Women’s Rural Advocacy Programs provide useful introductions to and overviews of domestic violence issues.
