It's THAT kind of party at Sounds of Silence! Kicking off the heels to let yourself loose on the dance floor, busting a move to DJ Ije's tunes, savoring every morsel of yummy food... We can't wait until next year, and hopefully we see you there! #SOSgala2024 #SOSgala #Gala #ChicagoNonprofit #ChicagoEvents #EndDV #DomesticViolence

关于我们
Connections for Abused Women and their Children (CAWC), is committed to ending domestic violence. Using a self-help, empowerment approach, we provide a shelter for women and children, and counseling, advocacy, and a 24-hour hotline for people affected by domestic violence. We work for social change through education, service collaboration and institutional advocacy. CAWC helps victims of abuse and their children in the Chicago metropolitan area through four its four main programs: Greenhouse Shelter provides that important safe refuge and support to help women and their children take those first brave steps to ending abuse. The shelter provides core domestic violence services including: a 24-hour crisis phone line (hotline) and counseling services; safe refuge; safety planning; court advocacy; individual and group counseling for women and children; life skills development and referrals. Humboldt Park Outreach Program (HPOP) is a community-based counseling outreach program for victims of domestic violence who have either left shelter and begun independent living or have not yet made the decision to leave their abuser. A team of professionals provides advocacy and support services including but not limited to crisis intervention, counseling, safety planning, information and referral and legal advocacy on an individual as well as group basis. The Hospital Crisis Intervention Project (HCIP) services are critical to empowering victims to begin to take control of their lives. HCIP, housed at John Stroger Hospital, provides quality direct services to female and male victims of domestic violence at the critical time in which they seek health care. Domestic Violence Services at Haymarket Center (a Comprehensive Alcohol and Drug Treatment Program) are an important resource for victims of domestic violence with active alcohol and chemical addictions so that they can overcome these serious issues simultaneously.

Perpetrators of domestic and intimate partner violence (IPV) exercise their power and control over their victims, which often includes sexual misconduct and abuse. In effect, victims and survivors of IPV are at high risk of experiencing reproductive coercion, forced sex, or intentional exposure to sexually transmitted diseases. Everyone should feel safe with their intimate partner, but that is often not the reality. CAWC is committed to providing a safe space for victims and survivors to escape abuse and sexual violence by empowering them as they regain control of their lives and their own bodies. #DomesticViolence #ChicagoNonprofit #CAWC #SexualHealth #ReproductiveRights
