Horribly slanted view on those that want services to be provided based not on what type of person you are (man, woman, gay, or straight), but on the severity of your experience.

Misleading statistics, and a thin veneer of academic rigor.

So fearful of wife he
... Bathes in the dark
... Doesn't make noise at home
... Locks himself in bedroom at night

So fierce she...

... Hits him with stool
... Bashes him till he loses hearing
... Threatens to lie to cops he raped her

Stop Abuse for Everyone was approved as an official membership
organization by a three-quarters vote of the members of the
Washington County Domestic Violence Intervention Council. (Washington
County is the second largest population county in Oregon). SAFE
representatives have been attending meetings of this group for about
six months. There was some opposition to SAFE membership in this
group which is made up of domestic violence service agencies both
public and private non-profit and District Attorneys, Judges and
police agencies. However, the retiring chair (Judge Campbell) spoke
up in our favor and a District Attorney representative reminded the
group that public officials can not ethically discriminate against a
particular group of victims. After the vote a member of a police
department asked for copies of our brochures and potential
cooperation with another non-profit agency was explored. SAFE
considers this important work as we further develop a presence in
Oregon and it goes along with our mission to change hearts and minds
to Stop Abuse For Everyone.
