The Filipina Women's Network advocates for an education campaign to raise awareness
about the violence being perpetrated against Women. Consider the stats:
Every 107 seconds, another American is sexually assaulted. 68% of sexual assaults are not reported. 98% of rapists will never spend a day in jail or prison.

1 in 4 women will experience domestic violence during her lifetime.

Domestic violence is the third leading cause of homelessness among families, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Violence against women takes shape in a multitude of forms including domestic violence,
stalking, rape, sexual assault, the trafficking of women and children,
date rape, verbal abuse, harassment and hate crimes.
Join the chorus of voices around the WORLD, as we say "NO" to violence against Women of Color. Bring your grandmother, your mother, your wife, your aunt, your sister, your daughter, your niece, your friend. Empower them. Free them. Bring the men in your lives, too. Let us all help stop the madness.

"Domestic violence causes far more pain than the visible marks of bruises and scars. It is devastating to be abused by someone that you love and think loves you in return. Approximately 3 million incidents of domestic violence are reported each year in the United States."

What are The Vagina Monologues?
An Obie Award-winning whirlwind tour of a forbidden zone, The Vagina Monologues introduces a wildly divergent gathering of female voices, including a six-year-old girl, a septuagenarian New Yorker, a vagina workshop participant, a woman who witnesses the birth of her granddaughter, a Bosnian survivor of rape, and a feminist happy to have found a man who “liked to look at it.”
