“As a survivor of domestic violence, I understand firsthand the economic impact that domestic violence has on women. I had to literally rebuild my life by building a house with my own hands. If communities get involved, we can reduce the 5.8 billion in direct domestic violence costs per year, and quickly turn victims into contributing community members. The conversation of Violence against women on a global stage like World Woman Summit can help bring actionable ideas for these issues deep rooted issues in our society.” Cara Brookins, best-selling author of Rise, How a House Built a Family — A Memoir.
