Creative Interventions Community-Based Domestic Violence Project

This project aims to promote community-based interventions to address domestic violence. By targeting marginalized communities, it provides accessible tools and models to prevent violence and build community capacity. The initiative challenges traditional responses and focuses on community accountability to end violence at all stages. Join us at the RWJ Fresh Ideas Grantee Meeting on March 18–10, 2008, for a briefing on this innovative approach.
