Since many areas of society touch the hip-hop culture we are pleased to provide Family Violence Prevention Fund (FVPF) monthly updates. We have been doing this partnership of information sharing since we first opened the site two years ago. Rap and hip-hop sometimes portrays women in the negative and this site adds some valuable information not only for women but for men as well. Single fathers, fathers with families, wives of incarcerated husbands, children with incarcerated parents; this site touches all these issues and is very informative. Being one of a few hip-hop and rap sites that add this kind of information to our site makes us unique to where we recognize there are problems out there and we do not just want to be ‘part’ of the problem, but in some way we would like to take a stance to be part of the solution. For more than two decades, the Family Violence Prevention Fund (FVPF) has worked to end violence against women and children around the world, because everyone has the right to live free of violence. Instrumental in developing the landmark Violence Against Women Act passed by Congress in 1994, the FVPF has continued to break new ground by reaching new audiences including men and youth, promoting leadership within communities to ensure that violence prevention efforts become self-sustaining, and transforming the way health care providers, police, judges, employers and others respond to violence. This section of the site is updated about 2 times a month with new information and information on what is going on in government that we all need to be aware of. The section can be found under Family Violence Prev. on the right side of our menu. If you need help or have questions that may need to be answered or you are just wanting to know what is going on please check out this section regularly or go to www.endabuse.org and learn and help as you can: get involved.
