According to statistics, a woman is battered every nine seconds and, tragically, every six hours a woman is killed. During the 2007-2008, the 42 certified domestic violence centers throughout Florida provided emergency shelter to more than 14,500 individuals and provided in-person counseling to more than 60,000 individuals.



Nearly 150,000 individuals called local domestic violence hotlines. Recognizing the need to address the epidemic in South Florida, The Carrie Meek Foundation initiated the Men To Men Program.



The program is a series of conversations held in the community that addresses violence against women. The informal forums focus on the social ramifications of domestic violence in the community, causes of domestic violence and solutions to address domestic violence.
