Northwest Ohio has suffered many losses in recent years due to domestic violence. In fact, 8 of the 10 criminal homicides in Wood County, Ohio since 2002 have been the result of domestic violence. We believe it's time for a positive change.

Our mission is to increase awareness and prevent domestic violence in the local community through; the development of educational programs for elementary, middle school and high school students, efforts to change legislation to provide stricter punishments for convicted abusers and repeat offenders, providing victims in the community with a voice, as well as legal, medical and social services in one location. We are "Alicia's Voice - Citizens Against Domestic Violence," a non-profit group dedicated to bringing real and measurable change to our county and the surrounding areas by promoting the following:

On July 1st, 2009, we will be celebrating the ONE YEAR Anniversary of the opening of The Center for Access to Safety and Justice in Wood County . The Center is a facility much like those already located in several Northwest Ohio counties, where victims and their children can have access to all necessary legal, medical, and social services related to family violence under one roof. For more information about The Center for Access to Safety and Justice - 320 West Gypsy Lane, Bowling Green, Ohio, call 419-352-1545.
