"HEALING FAMILIES OF ABUSE ONE SOLE AT A TIME"
The Power of Shoes : Society of Women Who LOVE Shoes is a non-profit 501 c 3 organization focused on making a measurable difference in the lives of women and families of abuse. We began with a goal of creating fun networking events where women and men can come out, give back and have an enjoyable evening all at the same time.
If we are to make a positive impact in the lives of those touched by abuse we must increase awareness of the silent epidemic of Domestic and Intimate Partner Violence, encourage and support involvement in activities that help meet needs and drive change as well as discover individuals, companies and organizations willing to be passionate in their support. It is time for us all to adopt a simple view..."Don't do it and Don't take it" and "Don't suffer in silence."
Society of Women Who Love Shoes?
What do we believe?
We believe we deserve to
feel:
Special
Worthy
Wanted
Loved and
Secure
And we love shoes too, and
we are:
Stepping up to make a difference
Helping hands reaching out
Organizing and championing change
Engaging and educating about abuse
Shouting to the world, it’s time to end
the cycle of abuse
Now reflect on this. A
reflection is an effect produced by an
influence. Join with us and be the
influence.
“Let’s turn on the
light and end abuse.” The power of shoes, step up with us!
One in every Four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime (National Institute of Justice and the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention).
And what about families? Children from homes characterized by such violence are 5 to 7 times more likely to experience significant psychological problems relative to children in the general population.
