Protected WomenStronger Communities Since 1998 weve helped vulnerable women protect their rights and preserve the dignity of their families. In a world where many girls and women are uneducated and poor where they struggle against discrimination and secondclass citizenship and where they are often the victims of physical and sexual abuse and violence we need advocates who believe that women and men should have equal opportunities to life liberty and happiness. Established in July 1998 in memory of Caroline Baird Crichfield who was killed on April 11 1998 in an incident of domestic violence The Caroline Fund is committed to helping women in need or in crisis lead secure healthy independent lives and to assure the dignity of both sexes. The Caroline Fund has designed its grants and educational programs to help women create meaningful free lives.
