Getting vaccinated is the surest way to get Minnesotans back to the people and activities we love! We are ready to say GOODBYE to COVID-19 in 2022!
We know people have many questions about COVID-19 vaccines, but they are safe and effective! The requirements for the COVID-19 vaccine are the same as all other vaccines. To be used, the manufacturers must present study data showing that their vaccine is safe and works. These data are closely reviewed by several scientific groups and they make informed decisions about the risks and benefits of using the vaccines.

St. Paul, MN July 10th, 2014—Domestic abuse impacts one in three Minnesota women by the age of forty. Victims of domestic abuse represent women from across socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. Women of Nations, the third largest domestic violence shelter in Minnesota, provides shelter and advocacy to women and children fleeing domestic violence and education to our community.
On August 12th, 2013 Women of Nations will hold its annual Fall Feast. Incorporating traditional food and music, Women of Nations will honor those who have passed as a result of domestic violence and honor those who have survived. Please join us at the Little Earth Gymnasium (2501 Cedar Ave S, Minneapolis, MN) from 5:00-7:00pm.
RSVP no later than August 4th, 2014 to Kelly Marie Prosen (kprosen@women-of-nations.org, 651-251-1621).
About Women of Nations
Beginning in 1982, WON served Native American women victimized by domestic violence through assisting them in obtaining Orders for Protection and advocating on their behalf with law enforcement, judicial and social service systems, and other entities as needed. In 2014, Women of Nations provides supportive services including crisis intervention, advocacy, and shelter for Native American and other battered women and educates the public on domestic violence issues.
One June 15th, 2014, Women of Nations kicked off its inaugural 5K, Conquer the Crossroads with 50 participants in St. Paul’s Battle Creek Park.
Last year in Minnesota 37 women were murdered by an intimate partner, nearly all of whom reported experiencing domestic violence prior to their murders. Domestic violence affects one in three women in Minnesota, and follows a predictable, insidious, and deadly pattern.
For over 30 years, Women of Nations has helped women and children break this pattern by escaping violent homes and building new, hope-filled lives. Through our Eagles’ Nest Shelter, our 24 hour crisis line, and our community advocacy programs we serve over 1,000 women and children annually.
Conquer the Crossroads is an event that celebrates the strength of all women and helps us support women who are leaving abusive relationships.
We’d like to say thank you to all our participants and volunteers and we look forward to seeing you next year.
