International Collaborators
Major contributors to this book are cited in the Preface, Appreciation section, and in Chapter 1. Beyond those are a great many NGOs, charity groups, and government-supported sources committed to violence prevention and services to victim/survivors. Some of these groups operate in relative isolation while competing with other not-for-profit organizations for financial resources necessary for survival. Here the focus is offering a forum for cross-cultural networking that would increase program visibility, and inter-organization collaboration. Following are the websites of programs readers may wish to contact for further information.
