End Domestic Violence Now!
Estimated reading time: 1 minute, 28 secondsJan was the CEO of the YWCA of Union County for the last twelve years of her life.
The YWCA’s mission is to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity.
In this context, YWCA Union County aims to empower survivors of domestic violence to become safe and free from abuse, promote social justice, and eliminate violence against women and girls.

The YWCA Union County announced the creation of The Janice C. Lilien Humanitarian Award in memory of their CEO, who served the YWCA for over 12 years.
This year’s recipient was M. Theresa Daniels. She has devoted her career to advocating for women and families.
For more than 30 years, she has worked to improve services and policies for survivors of domestic and sexual violence and crime victims.
She has worked to enhance women’s health care, protect reproductive rights, support women’s leadership, and help women get elected to office.
It was an honor to be present when Ms. Daniels received the award this year and to hear the commitment of two women who climbed the second mountain seeking meaning and purpose in life!
