While domestic abuse is not a gender-specific issue, statistically, women are more affected by it than men, with one in four women being assaulted at some point in their life compared to one in nine men. Harbor House seeks to address domestic violence at every stage and ultimately hopes to eliminate it. They offer shelters to adults and children escaping violent situations, in addition to crisis intervention services. They also work to promote awareness and advocate for policies that better protect the victims of domestic abuse. The organization provides legal and mental health services to individuals in some of the counties where they operate.
