Hi folks. I'm an expert from the relationships page, and I need information on how to find Women's Shelters in various parts of USA, Canada, Britain, etc. Site addresses or phone no.s please. Would love it if anyone knew national registries, if they exist. The wider reaching, the better. Also, the sooner the better. Thanks. See you on our expert bulletin board once it gets up and running.

HI THERE RAWGOD,
YES THERE ARE WAYS TO GET ALL OF THE SHELTERS, CITY LOCATIONS,AND STATEWIDE.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SEARCH YOUR INTERNET FOR NATIONAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
THIS PAGE WILL GIVE YOU MANY PLACES TO LOOK AT, AND IF IT IS TO HELP OTHERS THEY EVEN HAVE A PHONE NUMBER IN ORDER TO HELP THE VICTIMS FIND A LOCATION NEAREST TO THEM
THE PHONE NUMBER IS 1-800-799- SAFE. THIS IS THE NATIONAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HOTLINE. THEY OFFER FREE COUNSELING, AND LOCATION FINDINGS. THIS IS ALSO DISPLAYED ON THEIR SITE.THIS SITE I TOLD YOU ABOUT WILL GIVE YOU THE NATIONAL REGISTRIES, AND OR CITIES. THIS IS THE WIDEST REACHING PROGRAM AND WEB SITE OUT THERE.
IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS LET ME KNOW.

Thanx. Actually I found this very site on my own after I posted my question last night. But this only takes care of the USA, there are over 200 other countries in the world. HELP ME BUILD A WORLD REGISTRY if you will. I know a lot of countries don't have women's shelters, but let's find out which ones do, and how to reach them. Then let's find out why the others DON'T! regards rawgod
