Honoring 50 years of advocacy.

Women’s Advocates is proud to be the first shelter in the nation for victim-survivors of domestic violence, pioneering a legacy of support and advocacy that spans five decades and has provided vital, life-saving resources to thousands in our community and beyond.

As we celebrate our Twin Cities legacy this year, join us in honoring victim-survivors, recognizing advocates, and celebrating progress towards a safer future, free from abuse.
