The Membership of Jane Doe Inc.
Currently, nearly 60 community-based sexual assault and domestic
violence service and advocacy programs in Massachusetts comprise
the membership of Jane Doe Inc. This list keeps growing as more
organizations adopt the Core Values of the Coalition and join our
efforts to build the strongest statewide network of individuals
and organizations committed to ending domestic violence and sexual
assault.
These independent non-profit organizations deliver comprehensive
services to over 100,000 women, men and children every year, in
every community across the Commonwealth. Crisis hotlines, emergency
shelter, safe homes, legal and medical advocacy, educational and
support groups, counseling, advocacy, safety planning, children's
advocacy, economic development programs and transitional housing
are just some examples of services available. Community education
is also offered on an array of topics including sexual assault,
teen dating violence, and the role of men in ending violence.
The member organizations of Jane Doe Inc. offer a lifeline to survivors
of violence and their families. Each member organization relies
heavily on the contribution of financial and volunteer resources
to ensure that services are available to survivors for both immediate
needs and longer term healing. While the Coalition assists its membership
by providing technical assistance and training, supporting the development
of new programs, serving as a statewide clearinghouse and coordinating
organization around budget and policy advocacy, awareness and research,
JDI does not provide any funding directly to its member organizations.
JDI's monthly e-newsletters highlights our member programs and
recognizes their achievements, events and accomplishments periodically.
Currently the following programs are being featured:
- Elizabeth
Freeman Center - provides comprehensive services, education
and outreach for victims of domestic violence and the community
in Berkshire County
- BWRI -
provides comprehensive services, education and outreach for victims
of domestic violence and the community in Northern Worcester County
- North
Shore Rape Crisis Center - provides comprehensive sexual assault
programs in 25 cities and towns in the Greater North Shore and
Lower Merrimack Valley areas.
