safe, supported and believed.

WHY NOW?

One in three women experience intimate partner abuse in Texas, and many assaults go unreported due to fear.

Women deserve better and children deserve a happy childhood.

Genesis is determined to create a future without domestic violence.

Research suggests that when trauma is treated with clinical counseling and support services, healing, long-term recovery and hope for an abuse-free future are possible. Texas can do better, and Dallas can lead the way to a future where home is a place of safety, shelter and support.

 

Over the past 39 years, Genesis Women’s Shelter & Support has led more than 40,000 women and children to safety. Our promise to the future is to guarantee these services continue for as long as they are needed and to give women and their children their lives back.
