Our Mission

Welcome to the Cambridge Women's Commission Community Conversation!
In late 2008, sixty Cambridge community stakeholders and policy and program leaders attended the
Women’s Data Workshop hosted by the Cambridge Women’s Commission.
Initial recommendations in five key areas were proposed:
Economic Issues, Older Women, Women’s Health, Women’s Safety, and Young Women/Girls.

We invite you to use this open forum to share thoughts, comments, ideas and questions about these recommendations and findings.

Women's Safety

Finding: Excellent safety programs and services exist in Cambridge, however there are gaps in service delivery and these programs are not reaching those most in need.

Recommendation:
  • Mandate health education and/or violence prevention as part of core curriculum in all Cambridge public schools
  • Create a Violence Prevention Specialist position at Cambridge Housing Authority
  • Require batterers with restraining orders to attend intervention groups
  • Include violence prevention training for all providers working with families
