Mission Statement
The mission of Womanspace is to Prevent Abuse, Protect Families, and Change Lives through empowerment and a safety net of supportive services.
About This Cause
Founded in 1977, Womanspace, Inc. is a leading nonprofit agency in Mercer County, New Jersey, that provides a comprehensive array of services to individuals and families impacted by domestic and sexual violence and dedicated to improving the quality of life for women and their families. Our bilingual (English and Spanish) programs include 24-hour crisis intervention through crisis hotlines, response teams, and emergency shelter; counseling for adults and children, court advocacy and housing services. Our goal is to assist survivors both at the moment of crisis and throughout their journey of emotional healing and the achievement of economic independence. Womanspace is one of only eight agencies in the state of New Jersey that is specifically focused on providing potentially life-saving services to victims/survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, stalking, and human trafficking. Domestic violence and sexual assault are not just women’s issues, and they are not just individual or family problems. Violence against women is a human issue, and a social problem. It’s up to the community to take a stand against abuse, hold abusers accountable for their behavior and protect victims. Womanspace is a membership organization. Members may participate in the election of the Board of Directors and receive reports about the organization at the Annual Meeting. Our members are committed to our financial stability, believe in our mission and sustain us as we work to provide services to victims of domestic and sexual violence and their families. No victim of domestic violence or sexual assault is turned away due to an inability to pay. Womanspace affirms its commitment to cultural competency. We recognize and value the ethnic, religious and racial richness of our communities, and encourage mutual respect and understanding among all people. True excellence in our organization and communities results from identifying, serving and enlisting the participation of all people who represent this rich diversity. Womanspace is a 501 (c) 3 tax-exempt organization and receives funding from the State of New Jersey, the County of Mercer and contributions from individuals, organizations, foundations and corporations.
