Domestic Violence Awareness & Prevention

The General Federation of Women's Clubs, of which The Woman's Club of Medford is a part, has chosen Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention as its signature project.  For the month of October, we encourage everyone to be aware of the issue and observe in the following ways:

  1. Wear purple, the color designated for domestic violence awareness. 
  2. Distribute flyers or palm cards with hotline numbers at Doctors’ offices, movie theatres (place in Ladies Room), dentist offices and nail salons, to name a few places.
  3. Encourage local businesses to display purple lights in storefront windows.
  4. Print and distribute a list of community resources available for women. Place them in a public place, i.e., the library, the local super market etc. 
  5. See list below of centers for help: 

• National Coalition Against Domestic Violence: www.NCADV.org 

• National Network to End Domestic Violence: www.NNEDV.org

GFWC Signature Project Fund

The GFWC Success for Survivors Scholarship was created through GFWC’s commitment to change the lives of survivors as they reshape their future in a positive way through higher education.

The GFWC Signature Program: Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Fund is fully supported by donations from GFWC members, partners, and friends.

The Woman’s Club of Medford ~ Helping To Bring Attention

Necessary Essentials Bags

We filled toiletry bags to be distributed by the Domestic Violence Advocacy Center.  The bags were filled with feminine hygiene products, soaps, shampoos as well as children’s items including books and small toys.  We also included pet necessities in some of the bags. Sometimes pets are lucky enough to escape with the human victims.

Pinwheel Gardens

Pinwheel Gardens are a very visible reminder that domestic violence aimed at children is a very real and all too common problem in our world.  The Woman’s Club of Medford  urges everyone to remember the youngest victims and report anything suspicious. You could save a life. 

Providence House

The Woman’s Club of Medford, for many years, provided clothing and other essentials to the victims of abuse being assisted by Providence House.  We hope to continue this tradition for many years to come.
