The Mission of WomensLaw.org is to provide easy-to-understand legal information and resources to women living with or escaping domestic violence or sexual assault. By reaching out through the Internet, we empower women and girls to lead independent lives, free from abuse.

Description:
WomensLaw.org publishes state-specific legal information for victims of domestic violence in 53 states, including DC, Guam and the Virgin Islands. Included are Sheriff Department listings, Courthouse listings and Shelter listings for every state. In addition, WomensLaw.org provides help through our Email Legal Hotline.

We need volunteers to help update the resource information. This includes making phone calls and using the internet to verify the addresses and contact phone numbers for shelters, courthouses or sheriff departments. This work can be done from home or the office and during any hours that work for you.

History:
WomensLaw.org was founded in February 2000 by a group of lawyers, teachers, advocates, and web designers interested in seeing the power of the Internet work for more disadvantaged people and specifically for survivors of domestic violence. We pulled together our experiences and resources and launched this website in October 2001.WomensLaw.org changed its formal name from Women's Law Initiative in 2005.
