YWCA of Greater Cincinnati

While the number of shootings and other violent crimes seems to fluctuate year to year in Cincinnati, as of mid-year violent crime appears to be trending down. Last year City Council allocated $250,000 in human service funding to go toward anti-violence programs. That included in-school violence prevention, coaching and the creation of youth councils.

According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, one in three women and one in four men have been victims of intimate physical violence in their lifetimes. 

Stand Against Racism is a YWCA signature campaign to spread awareness about institutional racism. Founded in 2007, the campaign is part of the YWCA’'s larger national goal of eliminating racism.
