Women's Circle Endowed Chair

The effort to end violence against women began with one woman’s voice being added to another until a global movement was born. The Women’s Circle Endowment was created as an homage to that movement and to the women who both inspired and created it. The Endowment was founded by women donors who, through their philanthropy, showed what women’s compassion, women’s wisdom, and women’s leadership can accomplish. The Women’s Circle Endowment is comprised of businesswomen, philanthropists, community volunteers and public servants. They are women who come from all walks of life but share a common mission to end violence against women.

The Women’s Circle Endowment supports the Center’s effort to provide a forensic perspective on the experience of womenexperiencing abuse. The Endowment funds the Women’s Circle Endowed Chair of Study on Violence Against Women.
