The Pace Women’s Justice Center envisions a community working together to create a just, safe and supportive environment for victims and survivors of domestic violence and abuse. We lead a coordinated effort to raise awareness, disseminate information, provide direct legal services and develop strategies with community partners for recognizing and eradicating abuse. By achieving this goal, victims and survivors of domestic violence can move forward in their lives with dignity, confidence and renewed strength. In 1991, the “Battered Women’s Justice Center” was established as the first academic legal center in the country devoted to training attorneys and others in the community on domestic violence issues. Today, the Pace Women’s Justice Center has grown to become the largest civil legal services and legal training provider in Westchester County, which specializes in domestic violence and elder abuse. Each year, the Center serves over 2,800 victims and survivors of domestic violence, immigrants, the elderly, the disabled, and the poor, and trains hundreds of judges, prosecutors, police, attorneys, social services providers, professionals, students, and the general public on domestic violence and elder abuse issues. With a staff of nineteen and an additional 7,200 hours contributed annually by pro bono attorneys, volunteers, and law students, the Center is a highly respected leader in developing a coordinated community response to interpersonal violence, and providing effective strategies and legal services for survivors.

Domestic Violence is a public health crisis that requires our collective personal attention. 7?? million children live in families where domestic violence occurs. More than half of all female homicides in the U.S. are at the hands of their male intimate partner. This affects millions of people each year. It doesn't matter where you live, how much money you make, how educated you are, or what color you are - it has no boundaries. Your end-of-year donations help RAISE THE BAR for victims of abuse https://bit.ly/givepwjc #RaiseTheBar #PWJC #Every1KnowsSome1 #GiveForDV
