FEATURE STORY
MJ’s Extraordinary Story
Achieving Independence and Success after Surviving Domestic Abuse
MJ has been a source of inspiration for our members since we first met her. Knowing about the obstacles she has overcome to attain her success is even more inspiring.
Since she won the Soroptimist Live Your Dream award in 2018, she has continued to raise her girls on her own, complete her four-year degree and land a full-time job as a social worker.
Latest from our Blog:
Ways you can help
Our focus is on education because educated women and girls are:
Less vulnerable to sex traffickers
More likely to leave a domestic violence situation and not return
Less likely to live in poverty
Able to raise stronger healthier families
