Formed in 1974, WHBW has evolved into the largest service provider for battered women in Vermont. We believe that all women and children have the right to live without fear of battering - sexual, physical, emotional, or financial.

Our vision is an end of physical, sexual, emotional and economic abuse and to promote cultural systems that foster justice, equity and safety.

Our mission is to support, identify options and advocate for those who have experienced domestic violence and serve as a catalyst for social change.
