Who we are

When we look at the current landscape of domestic and dating violence, sexual assault, stalking and human trafficking, we see proof that the justice system isn’t always just.

And from there, we see solutions.

We are BWJP: a collective of national policy and practice centers at the intersection of intimate partner violence and legal systems. If you’re looking for resources, training, consultations or research, then you’re in the right place.

Women's History Month & BWJP's Rising Stars

As we recognize Women’s History Month, we are highlighting some of the RisingStars of BWJP: members of our staff who are rising through the ranks and actively impacting the movement. These young women are continually striving for excellence and building on the legacy that our foremothers have built.

At BWJP, we honor the countless women who have fought for justice, challenged oppressive systems, and built pathways for change, often in the face of adversity. The gender-based violence movement stands on the shoulders of these trailblazers, whose resilience, courage, and unwavering commitment continue to inspire our work today. This month, we’re amplifying their legacies by highlighting some of BWJP’s Rising Stars, dynamic young women who are carrying this work forward, forging new paths, and driving change for future generations.
