Advocating for Justice – Helping to Heal Our Community

At the Joseph Gabriel Foundation (JGF), we believe that through education, advocacy, and raising public awareness, we can shift cultural norms that allow interpersonal violence and injustice to persist. Our goal is to reduce the stigma of victimization, empower survivors, and help former victims regain dignity and wholeness.

​
