Tweet with me to celebrate and seek justice:

Pioneering Domestic Violence Advocate Who Refused to Discriminate Leaves Lasting Legacy. Thank you Patricia Shanley Overberg #DomesticViolence #GenderEquity #MensRights https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/pioneering-domestic-violence-advocate-who-refused-to-discriminate-leaves-lasting-legacy-127793748.html

And in reply:

"Although most VAWA-funded battered women's shelters force mothers of boys over age 12 to place their sons in foster care or be denied entrance, Overberg refused..When male victims, whether on their own or with their children, sought help, she didn't turn them away."

And in reply:

"No person .. on the basis of .. sex ... be excluded from participation in .. be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity funded in whole or in part with funds made available under [#VAWA]". @TheJusticeDept @FBI @OVWJustice #MensRights https://www.justice.gov/archives/ovw/file/29386/download
