The Hidden Faces of Domestic Violence

“You need to know that New Beginnings saved my life. I was so desperate for so many years and thought there was no way out. But New Beginnings made me realize there is hope, that there is strength in numbers and strength in me. They have allowed me to move forward toward recovery and healing.” C O M M U N IT Y A DVO C ACY P R O G R A M PA RT I C I PA N T

“In group we learned that the choices we make should be based on what we want. We don’t have to do something just because our boyfriends say so. We have the right to say no.” OW N I N G U P G R O U P YO U T H PA RT I C I PA N T S

Mission:

Astrid Purcell W O M E N ’ S A D V O C AT E

New Beginnings’ mission is to provide shelter, advocacy and support for battered women and their children, and to change attitudes and social institutions that foster and perpetuate violence.

Dear Friends and Supporters, Those of us who serve domestic violence survivors or who care passionately about this issue live with a paradox. We have made enormous strides over the years in changing attitudes, impacting the practice of law enforcement and creating services for survivors that were unimaginable only a few decades ago. Yet the prevalence of domestic violence remains staggering in our community, our country, and the world. More than 1 in 3 women in the United States have experienced rape, physical violence and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime. Imagine what this number would look like if women who have lived this violence felt safe and empowered to identify themselves. In an auditorium of 300 concert goers, 106 women would stand up. In an office of 150 employees, 53 women would wear a button that says “I am a survivor.” At a weekend barbecue of 20 friends, 7 women would step forward. And these survivors are just the start. In our state alone, imagine the millions of children and adult men and women who would raise their hands, having lived in households wracked by fear and violence.

Yet today, the stories and experiences of domestic violence survivors are still largely invisible to us. These are the hidden faces of domestic violence, and they are our family members, friends and co-workers. They are the neighbor we greet at the market, the child running at the playground, the congregant in our pew, and the student sitting at the next desk.

After 19 years

In 2011, New Beginnings provided critical, life saving advocacy, shelter and support to the hidden faces

of dedicated

in our community. Our education and prevention efforts transformed attitudes and sowed the seeds of

service, our

healthy and respectful relationships.

Executive Director Lois Loontjens

We could not have done this work without you, and we offer our deepest thanks for your steadfast support.

retired this year.

Together, we WILL end domestic violence. Our work has just begun!

New Beginnings will be forever grateful to Lois for her visionary leadership, and we wish her well in her many adventures to come.

“I left again, and he found me. He got us and put everything in the car and he said, ‘We’re going home, this is stupid, I will find you anywhere. There is no place you can run… there is no where you can hide and there is no one who will help you…’ and he was right, until I found New Beginnings.” E M E R G E N CY S H E LTE R R E S I D E N T

“Honestly it was the support group that got me through. I think back to that time when it was so dark and lonely and sad but I was never alone. I’d tell my advocate what was going on and she’d simply say: ‘I know,’ because she’d been through it too. Sometimes we would just sit together and not say anything and that’s exactly what I needed.” TR A N S IT I O N A L H O U S I N G P R O G R A M R E S I D E N T

H O LL A N D A M E R I C A The employees of Holland America have supported our work through in-kind donations for over ten years! We would like to give a special recognition to Sherri Warner who coordinates a holiday collection drive each year. This past year was no exception in the generosity of Holland America employees, who donated plentiful holiday gifts to 29 families. S O MA I N TI MATE S During 2011 the employees of Soma Intimates in Pacific Place Mall held several collection drives to benefit New Beginnings. We would like to give special recognition to Marina Bambans, a passionate advocate for survivors of domestic violence and single mothers, for coordinating these valuable donations. We really appreciate it!

A S K M E A B O U T “ F L E E B AG S ” For several years Angie Pihlman has donated “Flee Bags” to the women at New Beginnings’ Emergency Shelter. Each bag contains more than 50 items. There are socks and panties, pajamas, a robe and slippers, toiletries, towels and wash cloths packed neatly into a carrying bag. These are offered to a woman in crisis to replace those personal items that she’s been forced to leave behind. Angie never meets the recipients, but she feels a strong connection with her sisters-in-need.

J U N I O R LE AG U E O F S E AT TLE These women deserve a very special recognition for the countless ways they have supported the families we serve. They’ve donated Mother’s Day gifts, spiffed up the yard at our Transitional Housing Program, and sent hand-made Valentines Day cards to the women in support groups. We are proud to count these special individuals as part of our community.

“New Beginnings confirmed everything I always thought. That it was not okay to be abused. I attended support groups, I met with my advocate. I took the New Beginnings’ Parenting Class and got my sons into the Kids’ Club program. I took advantage of every resource they had and tried to rebuild my life.
