Women In Distress

Site|Florida is proud to support Women In Distress od Broward County.

Women in Distress is the only nationally accredited, state certified, full service domestic violence center in Broward County.  The national statistics are staggering—one in every three women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime, and every day four women in this country die as a result of domestic violence.  Founded in 1974 by Edee Greene and a group of concerned citizens, Women in Distress began in a modest four bedroom home on Sistrunk Boulevard.   Generous donations and endowments through the years have allowed them to grow.  In December 2008, they purchased a six acre site in Deerfield Beach, and extensive renovations are now underway to make the complex of buildings the Jim and Jan Moran Family Center Campus.
