[email protected] Website: www.womenslawproject.org Services Provided: Based in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, the mission of the Women’s Law Project is to create a more just and equitable society by advancing the rights and status of all women throughout their lives. To this end, the WLP engages in high-impact litigation, advocacy, and education. WomensLaw.org Address: 150 Court Street 2nd Floor Brooklyn, NY 11201 Website: www.womenslaw.org Services Provided: WomensLaw.org was founded in February 2000 by a group of lawyers, teachers, activists, and web designers interested in seeing the power of the Internet work for more disadvantaged people and specifically for survivors of domestic violence. We pulled together our experiences and resources and launched this website in October 2001. WomensLaw.org changed its formal name from Women's Law Initiative in 2005. The Mission of WomensLaw.org is to provide easy-to-understand legal information and resources to women living with or escaping domestic violence. By reaching out through the Internet, we empower women and girls to lead independent and productive lives, free from abuse.
