Heart Health Awareness
Go Red for Women is dedicated to protecting women from heart disease and stroke.
We are committed to informing and educating women about the signs, symptoms, and risks of heart disease, as well as providing support and resources to help them live healthier lives.
We strive to empower women to take charge of their heart health and make positive lifestyle choices.
Domestic Violence
Violence against women and girls occurs in many different forms—physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, financial, and even through technology.
It is a worldwide public health crisis and human rights violation of epidemic proportions. Although there has been substantial progress in reducing domestic violence, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, an average of 20 people are physically abused by intimate partners every minute.
California has the following statistics for the year 2021 with 27.30% domestic violence against women and 32.90% domestic violence against men.
Human Trafficking

Despite increased international attention and resources from states and other non-governmental institutions, the number of people falling victim to human trafficking around the world continues to grow.
Between 2008 and 2019 the number of human trafficking victims identified worldwide more than tripled from 30,961 to 105,787.
In the United States, human trafficking tends to occur around international travel-hubs with large immigrant populations notably California, Texas and Georgia.
The US Justice Department estimates that 35,500-150,500 people enter illegally into the country every year.
