Womanspace and HomeFront Present a Screening of the documentary Audrie & Daisy
Womanspace and Homefront are proud to partner on this important event that will help to raise awareness about sexual assault, harassment and social media. Please join us for a community screening of the critically acclaimed documentary AUDRIE & DAISY with discussion to follow.
About the film
AUDRIE & DAISY is an urgent real-life drama that examines the ripple effects on families, friends, schools and communities when two underage young women find that sexual assault crimes against them have been caught on camera. From acclaimed filmmakers Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk (The Island President, The Rape of Europa), AUDRIE & DAISY — which made its world premiere at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival — takes a hard look at American’s teenagers who are coming of age in this new world of social media bullying, spun wildly out of control.

BNO Donates Womanspace Budsie Toys
Womanspace is honored to have been chosen by BNO to receive Budsie toys. If you aren’t familiar with Budsies, they are custom made stuffed animals, or creations that you bring to life. Anyone can create a drawing, then send it to Budsie to have it made into a stuffed toy. The ones BNO made for us, were created by staff members, then given to us for our child clients. Thank you for thinking of Womanspace, and donating these adorable Budsies to us!

Legal Clinic Volunteers Needed
Volunteer Attorneys Needed to Help Staff Womanspace Legal Clinic
Womanspace is looking for family law attorneys who would like to volunteer to assist survivors of domestic and sexual violence in our monthly Legal Clinic. The long-standing clinic offers vital support to our clients.
The goal of the Legal Clinic is to provide an opportunity for a one-time consultation that can help clients to clarify their unique situation and to explore their legal options. So many clients come to us with pending legal issues and this has been a successful way to help them begin their journey with the best information possible.
- The Legal Clinic takes place at our Barbara and Herb Goodfriend Counseling Center at 1530 Brunswick Ave in Lawrenceville.
- Training on Womanspace and the work with survivors is provided to all attorneys who elect to volunteer.
- After the initial training attorneys are asked to sign up for a regular schedule, although the schedule varies based on the number of available attorneys.
- Client participation is voluntary and the consultation in no way obligates either client or attorney beyond the consult.
- All communications between the client and attorney are confidential under the laws and attorney ethical standards of New Jersey.
- Consultations are private and 35 minutes in duration. They are scheduled by appointment only, by Womanspace staff.
