I was fortunate enough to complete a three-hundred-hour internship with Albion Fellows Bacon Center. Albion is a non-profit organization whose mission is to prevent domestic and sexual violence while striving to empower victims through advocacy, support services, education, and collaborative partnerships. The agency provides services 24 hours a day to the following eleven counties in southern Indiana: Crawford, Dubois, Gibson, Harrison, Orange, Perry, Pike, Posey, Spencer, Vanderburgh, and Warrick. The agency is named after a prominent Evansville woman who committed her life to improving living and working conditions for women, children, and the poor. Albion Fellows Bacon Center opened its doors in October 1981. The original shelter provided housing for a maximum of 27 individuals with six bedrooms and two bathrooms. The shelter and 24-hour crisis hotline were the only services provided to seven counties which were staffed by volunteers. …show more content…

Albion operates a 24-hour domestic and sexual violence crisis hotline staffed by trained advocates who provide emotional support, safety planning, and referrals. Through community education outreach, Albion Fellows Bacon Center presents to groups like schools, civic organizations, businesses, and churches. The presentations can be informational regarding the services provided by the agency or more educational in nature. The educational presentations can explain the dynamics of domestic violence and sexual assault, date rape drugs, teen dating violence, and bystander intervention. While Albion 's legal advocates are not attorneys, they provide emotional support, answer questions about individuals ' rights and options, and help clients navigate the Criminal and Civil Justice

    Dangerous exits: Escaping abusive relationships in rural America Introduction “A key objective of this book is to give voice to a marginalized group of women who, for the most part, have suffered in silence” (DeKeseredy & Schwartz, 2002). The book Dangerous Exits: Escaping abusive relationships in rural America, gives insight to the hushed topic of intimate partner violence and specifically women experiencing violence from attempting to leave their partner. Women are constantly advised to end relationships that turn violent, but this act could potentially put them at greater risk for further victimization. The authors take on a feminist approach to try and decipher this phenomenon of “a war against women”.

  • Integrated Response To Domestic Violence

    1315 Words  | 6 Pages

    Furthermore, integrated responses are often focused on the short term, and need to develop greater cognizance of the need for ongoing support of victims, specifically in regards to housing arrangements. Meyer’s report also notes that the women who received housing arrangements believed they were “not sustainable in the long run”. A further barrier to the successful implementation of the integrated response model is the lack of diligence and effort it expends for ensuring the emotional protection and healing of female victims. If a women is permanently traumatised and scarred through an incidence of domestic violence, simply arresting and removing the offender will not suffice. The solution must be cognizant of the victims emotional needs.

    According to The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, an organization whose mission is to envision a national culture in which we are all safe, empowered and free from domestic violence, in a single day in 2019, Michigan domestic violence programs provided services to 3,204 adult and child survivors. Another 376 requests for services went unmet due to lack of resources. This shows how lack of resources can damage peoples stability, and it is outrageous to think that these things are something unfixable so close to home. Another statistic from The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence says that in 2019, 57,018 incidents of domestic violence were reported to Michigan police, and many others went unreported. These are extreme numbers and to think that more cases of this that are unable to be resolved due to lack of resources and protection is simply
