The Women of Substance is a registered Non-Profit Organization which provides support for victims of domestic violence and abuse and facilitates education and awareness programs/events for targeted and the general population on domestic violence.

 

Our Organization’s mission is to create community and self-awareness and assist victims of domestic violence and abuse while working with all stakeholders to prevent, reduce and ultimately eliminate all forms of violence.
