At Women Helping Women, we are dedicated to supporting survivors and speaking out against the harm caused by silence.

We Believe Survivors.

We Invest in Survivors.

You are the expert of your own life, and you know what you need to ensure your safety and well-being. At WHW, we believe in your strength and are committed to investing in your journey—from immediate safety concerns to long-term stability.

Gender-Based Violence Disrupts Safety, Stability and Connection to Resources

And many survivors that WHW serves are left with the economic impact of violence and trauma committed against them. To be under threat and under financial burden is a day-to-day reality that prohibits safety and mobility—and it doesn’t have to be that way. That’s why WHW created the first ever Francie Garber Pepper Survivor Equity Fund to invest in the immediate safety needs of survivors and to grow from meeting needs to empowering dreams.

Our Impact

We show up where we are needed most, from boots on the ground to microphones in the crowd. And we will continue to do so. Because we cannot, and will not rest until every survivor knows that we see them, we believe them, and we are here for them. We will not rest until every young person and community member knows that this violence is preventable.
