Women Against Violence - We have made good strides in networking with other
organizations to get the message out that violence is not be tolerated. By
education and training, women with disabilities can empower themselves sin
learning that they do not deserve abuse. We have two trained Peer Mentors

regained their lives and are working to help other women with disabilities
regain their lives. If you are a woman, who has a disability and has, or is
now being abused, please call us at 259-5181 or 1-800-669-6319. Any and all
information is confidential. We have offices in Billings, Miles City and Glendive.
