About Us Mission New Beginnings Without Violence Abuse is dedicated to ending sexual domestic and stalking violence through the provision of safe and effective services including emergency refuge and support and works toward social change by promoting an effective community response to violence. Statement of Philosophy No one deserves to be beaten or raped or to live in fear of being beaten or raped. Domestic violence including emotional physical and verbal abuse as well as sexual assault are intolerable and must be abolished from our society. It is our belief that violence has its historical roots in a hierarchical structure that promotes inequality thereby promoting violence.
