Fire Recovery
We Need Your Help

Room in the Crisis Center Devastated by Fire

The Womens Coalition needs your help and support to rebuild and recover from the devastating fire at our crisis center/headquarters.

Thank You, St. Croix, for Joining Us To "Take Back The Night!"

Over 200 of you joined us to walk with your family and friends in support and in silence, bearing lights and wearing purple or t-shirts adorned with images and messages of love in honor of your lost loved ones. Thank you for gathering for our annual silent march and for showing your support for an end violence on our islands at our rally honoring victims who lost their lives to domestic violence over 30 years in the territory. Special thank you to our volunteer victim advocates, who continue to offer support to victims when they need it most, 24/7/365.
