The Mission of Salem County Women's Services is to protect, assist and educate our community in regard to the problems caused by domestic violence and sexual assault.
Salem County Women's Services is a non-profit organization serving the needs of women, children, and men since 1987. SCWS is supported primarily through donations, the New Jersey Department of Children and Families and the State Office of Victim Witness Advocacy. We offer assistance through our Domestic Violence Program (adult and child victims and perpetrators); or Sexual Assault Program (victims and their significant others.)
SCWS is committed to reaffirming our stance that discrimination has no place within our organization or in our community. We understand that dismantling this type of oppression is a long-term commitment that will take a meaningful, purposeful, consistent commitment to dismantle. It is our goal to make everyone feel a part of and welcomed to receive our services regardless of your race, color, sexual orientation, creed, religion, ethnic background, national origin, marital status, handicap, age, or sex.
