International studies show that one in three women will experience abuse by a significant other in their lifetime, while 40% of all murdered women are killed by their husbands or lovers. These statistics are staggering, but Every Woman's Place and Webster House Youth Services are here to strengthen families. Our programs range from domestic violence prevention to youth programs geared toward helping youth make positive decisions about their lives.
Every Woman’s Place provides emergency shelter for victims and survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. Our facility provides a safe haven, complete with support groups, counseling and advocacy services. All services are free of charge to survivors & their children.

If you are being abused and your abuser has access to this computer, it is possible he or she can monitor your Internet activity.
- Click on the orange "quick exit" button (on the left hand side of EWP's site) if you are concerned your Internet use is being watched, it will redirect you to a neutral search page.
- It may be safer to use a public computer such as one at a library or café.
You may not be able to get rid of all evidence of your Internet use, but these resources have tips for clearing your browser (Internet history) and for learning more about Internet safety in an abusive relationship:
