Building a Model for Saving Lives
Louisiana ranks second in the nation for violence against women.
Women in our state are murdered by men at a rate more than twice the national average.
Let that sink in.
This isn’t a new problem. The latest data (2017) show the sixth straight increase in female homicide victimization rates in Louisiana, currently at 2.64 per 100,000 females.
