Call to protect: Wireless phones for domestic safety.
Every 15 seconds, the crime of battery occurs. Up to half of all homeless women and children are fleeing domestic violence. More than one in three Americans have witnessed an incident of domestic violence.
The Wireless Foundation’s CALL to PROTECT program is a national educational and philanthropic program aimed at combating domestic violence. CALL to PROTECT provides the security and mobility of wireless phones to victims of domestic violence, especially during the transition from living in an abusive situation to regaining safety and independence. The wireless phones, preprogrammed to dial 911 and one non-emergency number, can summon help with the push of a button and assist a victim to transition from a life of fear to a feeling of protection 24 hours a day.
Please contact me if you would like to donate a used cell phone.
