Utah’s few domestic violence shelters are full. And moving to a shelter, like refugees fleeing a warzone, requires women to uproot their lives, and take their children away from their homes, and social support systems that build strength and resistance.

This further traumatizes victims and children who have already been through so much.

There must be a better way to end violence in our families and to end violence in our communities.

What if, rather than asking victims to leave their homes, a residential treatment center for perpetrators existed? This is the foundational idea behind the Beit Noam project.

Here at My Aunties’ House, we’re working tirelessly to make this vision a reality.
