Rosa Arteaga's Company Details
A determined group of women started Battered Women's Support Services in 1979. Over the years, BWSS has grown into a strong & dynamic organization. We continue to provide support & advocacy for women who have experienced abuse, as well as, training & education about violence against women. In 1992, we committed to our mandate of delivering training & professional development. In 2002, we solidified our work as social entrepreneurs when we opened My Sister's Closet Thrift Boutique & our second location in 2007. In 2008, we re-envisioned our mandate of systemic advocacy & law reform. As part of the feminist anti-violence movement, our long-term goal is the elimination of all violence against women. In 2010, we launched The Violence Stops Here Campaign urging men to own their role in ending violence against women. After retiring our Dating Violence Program in 2007 we have launch Youth Engagement in Violence Prevention in 2010. We serve over 8,000 women, deliver over training and professional development to over 350 professionals each year.
