Give Her A Voice, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, charitable organization dedicated to Healing the Trauma of Abuse Through Creative and Holistic Processes
A woman is physically, emotionally or sexually abused every nine seconds in the United States. Most of these women will keep silent. Just imagine if women everywhere came out with their stories. How many more women would have the courage to speak out? How many wives, girlfriends, daughters and sisters can come together to stop the violence?
Founded by Marta J. Luzim, MS, President, Give Her A Voice, Inc. (GHAV) is a charitable non-profit organization committed to healing the trauma caused by abuse. GHAV creates a sacred space for women who have been abused to live a life with purpose and joy. Through transformational storytelling, visual and performing arts, holistic, alternative and integrative healing practices and processes, women find their courage, strength and truth.
Give a safe, supportive and sacred community for healing the trauma caused by abuse.
Holistic, creative and alternative healing processes are fundamental and the bridge from survival to recovery to a life of freedom.
Assist, advise and educate women through the deep emotional, physical, and psychological repercussions of abuse.
Validate each woman’s story. To express is to heal!
Through Heart of a Woman workshops, classes, theater and film productions, retreats and salons, GHAV helps women to identify, create awareness, discuss, process and understand the patterns of trauma that are an outcome of:
• Physical abuse
• Emotional abuse
• Verbal abuse
• Self-abuse
Give Her A Voice, Inc. collaborates with and donates to the community and organizations that support the healing of women’s trauma of abuse. Give Her A Voice, Inc. is a movement where compassion educates logic, vulnerability builds strength, and emotions have inherent wisdom that leads to progressive healing action and change.
“A word about the despair of women. In the United States, depressed women make up the bulk of people in despair. Women are three times as frequently diagnosed with major depression as men. They suffer moderate depression at ten times the rate of men. Women in unhappy marriages are five times more likely to be depressed than their husbands. People living below the poverty line are especially prone to depression; and 75 percent of these people are women and children. Similarly, victims of sexual abuse are women. The same is true for victims of rape and domestic violence. In addition, 50 percent of caregivers – those who care for the elderly, the young, and the frail or disabled – are depressed. Almost all of these caregivers are women.*”

Based on these statistics that are still blaring in our faces on the state of affairs for females, domestically and globally, there is still much work that needs to be done.
This is a deeper more serious message. There are forces that want to lead the feminine back into the dark ages.
We can’t change anything globally until we change ourselves. We need to have the courage to speak our truth. If we don’t do that, history will repeat itself.
We’re being told that little by little our power is growing, but has a female president ever been elected in our “progressive” country? Why is Roe Vs. Wade being challenged in certain states?
We want the feminine resurrected.
Let all women who are survivors of physical, sexual, emotional abuse, neglect and trauma come out of hiding
Let her tears flow
Let her rage ignite
Let her hurt and grief show
Let’s liberate and celebrate her story
GIVE HER A VOICE
Give Her A Voice, Inc. is dedicated to every woman who needs to know that to face her darkness is a strength, not a weakness.
