GRACE St. JUDE​
AFRICAN IMMIGRANTS AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Our vision is to end domestic violence in immigrant African communities
GRACE St. JUDE is a culturally specific project with a mission to stop and prevent the perpetration of domestic violence against immigrant African women in Greater Houston, and to assist, empower and raise the voices of victims/survivors of such violence in immigrant African communities in the region – home to large numbers of immigrant Africans. Its vision is to end domestic violence in immigrant African families and communities within and beyond Greater Houston.

Although women are more likely than men to be victims/survivors of domestic violence, GRACE St. JUDE recognizes that men also experience domestic violence.
