Women Initiating New Goals of Safety (WINGS) empowers women at elevated risk of gender-based violence (GBV)—including women who use drugs, women living with HIV, women living in extreme poverty, women, transgender women, women in war zones and women from marginalized communities— by providing them with evidence-based screening, trauma-informed brief intervention, and linkage to services to identify and reduce intimate partner violence (IPV) and other forms of GBV. Through culturally tailored mobile health tools, peer and community engagement, and partnerships with service providers, WINGS expands access to vital IPV/GBV services, social services, and medical care, advances safety and well-being, and addresses racial health inequities among underserved women. Our mission is to adapt and implement data-driven community-based strategies that close service gaps, inform anti-GBV advocacy efforts, and promote health and safety for all women affected by violence.
