Thanks for your comments re the blog and website

Thank you very much for your feedback. It's really important and greatly appreciated. The blog addition is a great way for us to at least dialogue and get important feedback from our network in real time. However, keeping our website updated using html is a whole other story. As soon as we are able, we will revisit the website to make some of the modifications you've suggested.

Background: A talented and creative young man created the website for us in 2005. He remained committed to updating it until the 2008 economic downturn when he was laid off. He was then no longer able to continue volunteering his time. Simultaneously with the 2008 global economic decline, we weren't able to bring him on as a consultant. So now the website is old (circa 2008) and we don't know how to update html.

In spite of the economic climate from 2008 when we introduced our Love Speak for ME - teen dating violence awareness and education program, the number of youth we've seen increased from #1200, to #4500 by 2011. Like most non profits we struggle to survive. But we've never let that get in the way of our service and advocacy commitments. 

With great Faith, continued Hope, and hard work we will continue to make a difference. Thanks so much for your feedback.

Eman al-Obeidy-Libyan Rape Victim

Like this sister Eman, It is critical all women and girls report when sexually assaulted. Most assaults are not reported for fear of attempts to denigrate the woman's character ex- calling her a whore- Yet Eman has courage and remains firm. The only way we can combat such attacks against our sisters is to expose those ...who victimize women and girls. Thanks for your courage Eman. You are an inspiration.

Dating Violence

Now we're finally talking about dating violence. Why does it take such extreme circumstances in the lives of entertainers when every 15 minutes in the US some woman is getting abused? Don't regular people matter?
