YWCA Durham | Board of Directors

Less than 30% of abused women report the incident to the police.	Today in Durham, there are over 5000 families on a waiting list for subsidized housing.	A child who lives with violence is forever changed - but not forever damaged.	At least one woman is killed by her partner each week in Canada.
We counsel. We share. We support. We help.
