The Body of a Woman Was Found

Dear Reader:

This booklet was prepared to introduce three community projects entitled

"The Women’s Partnership For Change Program" and
"The Wall Project" and
The Body of a Woman Was Found

Developed by the National Institute of the Study of Violence. These three community projects were developed to reduce the number of women and children being murdered in this country. The objective of the above three programs is to call attention to the need for shelters in this country, and to alert the country that we still have more to do regarding the safety of women and children. To learn the components of violence the Institute studied the murders of 20,000 women in this country. During the course of this seven-year study the Institute learned that over 252,287 women have been murdered in this country in a seventy year period and over 25 million children have been born without fathers present in their lives during the same period. The absence of fathers in the home has devastated our nation. Through the above three projects we hope:

To get men to consider changing their lives by changing the way they think and to live their lives with standards and principles and to consider the benefits of marriage.

To stop the number of women between the ages of 40 - 50 from being the fastest growing number of new Aids victims in the country: Loneliness and lack of companionship is causing this phenomenon.

To reduce the number of children born in one-parent families by decreasing fornication and increasing the number of marriages in the country: The more marriages we have the fewer children will be in foster care. Many children in our foster care system and fatherless homes become inmates in our prisons because they do not have a male present in the home who actually functions as a man.

To reduce the number of people committing adultery: Adultery destabilizes the family and brings violence into the home

To stop non-related males from living in home with children: Many of these males are transients with no goals or purpose to their lives and some are drug users that end up violating children in their beds. Children are being stabbed, bitten, raped, kicked, scalded, strangled and murdered in their homes. This has to stop. Project One:
