Our definition of safety in regard to the courts is that we want people that have been abused to be able to talk for there self instead being harassed in courts by the defender. Right now in the state of Denver Colorado
"When you are in a abusive relationship the person you love the most and the person you fear the most are the same.Just leaving an abusive situation can put an abused person's life at risk.Then that person must face the person who has made their life hell ,explain all the abuses they have faced and then watch as their abuser may call them crazy,threaten their life or simply intimidate them from across the court room. Safety for victims to the courts without would mean allowing victims to obtain justice by coming to their abuser being there, being able to have their story heard and live without fear that their abuser will show up at work,their home, or their school."
