My vision is to live in a world where neither boys/men nor girls/women are the victims of violence; where they can flourish and are empowered to see themselves as worthwhile, important human beings who are not constrained by the threat of violence, by their own history of interpersonal violence, or by our artificial societal expectations because of their gender.  We all deserve such empowerment.   Although much of my work focuses on girls and women, many boys and men face similar challenges.  I strongly believe in helping people develop the requisite tools to empower themselves in order to live their lives to their fullest potential.
