At W.I.N.G.S. Refuge, our desire is to provide a safe, secure environment that doesn't leave women feeling trapped, but provides structure for them through education and support groups to help make necessary life changes. Through programs offered, our goal is to encourage women and their children to make lasting changes that will bring them to freedom from violence and abuse.

- Domestic violence is a crime. Missouri law gives legal protection to those affected.
- Battering is the single major cause of injury to women - more frequent than auto accidents, muggings and rape combined.
- Children coping with family violence frequently act out through violence at school and on the streets. They escape through truancy, teen pregnancy, sexual promiscuity, drug and alcohol abuse or running away.
