CEDAW
CEDAW (The Commitee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women) is an extension of the United Nations Human Rights. The commitee of 23 experts aim to help women in their daily lives around the globe. The reason CEDAW is essential to women: states that do not oblige to the Convention must eliminate discrimination in regards to women’s daily lives, protect women’s developments, prioritize women’s freedom of right and fix the concerns brought to their attention by the Commitee. The Commitee holds events to generate discussion and change in our society for women’s rights. Also, the Commitee attempts to aid in the creation of laws specific to protecting women in their daily lives.

Helping Abusers Resource: Center for Prevention of Abuse
This resource offers victims and abusers a place to gain education, therapy and most importantly help. There is information on the possible aids for abusers and the ways we can help them come to terms with their actions. It is important to recognize the mental state of an abuser and the trauma that has been passed down. Shaming an abuser will not help them; guding them towards healthier coping mechanisms and healing resources will help them.
