including the attainment of all minimum program, fiscal and administrative standards 

as reported by Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Florida Coalition 

Against Sexual Violence.  The Board of Directors, staff, volunteers, and CEO are 

commended for the excellent manner of providing services to victims of domestic 

violence and sexual assault in their area.

  • Domestic Violence is a crime. Florida law gives legal protection to battered
    victims.
  • Battering is the single major cause of injury to women-more frequent than auto
    accidents, muggings and rape combined.
  • Children coping with family violence frequently act out through violence at school
    and on the streets. They escape through truancy, teen pregnancy, sexual
    promiscuity, drug and alcohol abuse or running away.
  • Children growing up in violent homes often grow up to be violent with their adult
    partners or become victims themselves.
  • Battering a pregnant woman is a felony.
