Jaws of Justice Radio
It is the intention of Jaws of Justice Radio to investigate how to achieve justice in America, this includes issues of economic injustice, political injustice and the criminal justice system. We want to put a human face on those caught in the grasp of injustice and those that are part of an unjust system. We strive to dispel the misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system.
A Broken Rose Organization for Battered Women and Children
A Broken Rose Organization will provide a variety of resources for the women and children to help them lead a more positive and a more fulfilling life without having to deal with the many forms of abuse that comes with the act of domestic violence.
Our ultimate goal is for the women to learn, grow, and raise their children in a more positive environment until the time comes for them to establish being on their own, without needing assistance from their abusers. A Broken Rose Organization is going to work with a variety of housing organizations to assist our women and their children to be in their own home, such as HUD, Habitat for Community and so forth.
Host Teresa Wilke talks with Romona Harris of A Broken Rose Organization about their work with Women and Children who are moving out of domestic violence and what they need from our listeners to help them in their mission.
