The Women’s Freedom Center is the local domestic and sexual violence organization serving both Windham and Southern Windsor Counties in Vermont.
The mission of the Women’s Freedom Center is to end physical, sexual, and emotional abuse rooted in men’s violence against women and in gender-based power and inequality. Founded to uplift women and center their voices, we support all survivors – across gender identities – through advocacy, shelter, prevention, and education, working to create a community in which violence is not tolerated.

Women's Freedom Center
The Women's Freedom Center works to end violence toward women and their children; offering support and services to all survivors of domestic and sexual violence.
What happened at Cornell is not just a story about Cornell.
It is a story about sexual violence, accountability, whose voices we listen to, and what happens when a community is asked to show up for survivors.
In our latest op-ed, the Women’s Freedom Center asks a difficult question: Will we show up for survivors with the same urgency and attention that we bring to calls for accountability?
Because sexual violence doesn’t only happen on college campuses. It happens in our communities, in our workplaces, in our homes—and it happens far more often than most of us want to believe.
On October 7 from 6-8PM, we’ll gather on the Common for a silent candlelight vigil to stand with survivors and to remind our community that every survivor deserves to be heard, believed, and met with care.
We invite you to read our op-ed, share it, and join us in making space for a larger conversation about sexual violence and what accountability can—and should—look like.
