Epidemic of Violence: Missing and Murdered Women of Color

There is an epidemic of violence against women, girls, transgender and gender non-binary people of color; many have experienced harm, gone missing or been murdered across the U.S. and in the Chicago region.

The perpetual invisibility of the lives of women and girls in our communities experiencing gender-basedviolence is why CFW has a dedicated grant program focused on supporting community solutions,
interventions, and deeper interrogations to understand the root causes of this on-going epidemic. We believe this is of great importance and we are extending our voice and dollars to draw sustained attention and resources to this issue.
