Texas Women shelters are an important life-saving solution to ensure the safety and protection of the victims of domestic violence, especially for low-income women who may lack resources to find help elsewhere.
Shelters offer refuge and crisis intervention. Other essential victim services include: legal, economic, housing, medical advocacy, court accompaniment, employment and job training assistance, support groups and child care and special children's counseling programs.
