Dear Stephen, We, at Womanspace are so sorry for your loss and for journalism's loss. We miss her so much...her straight talk, her calming voice and for us, her unconditional support of our work. The work that was begun by her sister, your mother Barbara Boggs Sigmund. Womanspace has been so fortunate to be invited into the incomparable Boggs, Sigmund Family. Thank you for this article and your presence in our Womanspace family. #womanspaceinc #cokie #barbaraboggssigmund #family

As sundown approaches Womanspace would like to send greetings for a good year to our friends who celebrate Rosh Hashanah!
Remember
We thank Marina, one of our Domestic Violence Victim Response (DVVRT) Teams who has been volunteering with us since 2017. Without outstanding advocates like Marina, many survivors just would not be heard. Some of the survivors that come into the police station after domestic violence haven't yet heard of Womanspace. Our DVVRT members provide an outstanding opportunity to support, assist, provide options and simply be kind. Thank you Marina!!! #womanspaceinc #DVVRT #DVAM2020 #bekind #volunteersrock
Advocates can be everywhere, they just need to listen, care and demonstrate a willingness to help. Thank you sir...your action does not go unnoticed. The world of domestic violence and sexual assault advocates thanks you so much!

During October, Domestic Violence Awareness and Education Month it is so important to see what an advocate looks like. We thank Holly for her time and compassion in supporting survivors at the time of a crisis. Being an advocate includes the ability to be kind, by listening and believing. Thank you Holly!
Today, during Domestic Violence Awareness Month we say a gigantic thank you to one of our very first Domestic Violence Response Team members (since 1998)...she is amazing. Anne has consistently responded to call-outs across the county, at times bringing her therapy dog, Bessie along with her. When called upon to help out, Anne is always there. What would be ever do without her! Thank you Anne...this is truly what a volunteer advocate looks like!!!
Day 2 of Domestic Violence Awareness and Education month. We want to acknowledge and thank Michelle Lambing from the College of NJ who describes her work as an advocate. Supporting survivors is a rewarding role to play. It is with the time and compassion of our volunteer advocates that our work is able to expand beyond the walls of our programs and into the community. Thank you Michelle, your commitment is exceptional.
Thank you to Womanspace Board member Michelle Bajwa and her socially conscious daughter Ava as they prepare to raise awareness about Womanspace, our services to survivors and their families and for this year's Communities of Light 2020!!!

We often hear the myth that the Super Bowl causes domestic violence to increase—but the truth is that domestic violence is an ongoing, intentional pattern of power and control that happens every day of the year. Abuse is caused by abusers, not by a date on the calendar. Learn more about domestic violence in our FAQs: https://bit.ly/37sTnOu
COVID-19 has changed the way we live our lives. For those who live with abusive partners the pandemic has created another very effective tool for abusive and controlling partners, by which escape can become impossible.
