THE JEWISH TASKFORCE AGAINST FAMILY VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT

The Jewish Taskforce Against Family Violence has been active in the community for the past 16 years organising and facilitating education and awareness programs delivered by local and international experts in the fields of Family Violence and Sexual Assault. The Taskforce is a voluntary organization comprised of professional women who came together to address the issues of family violence in the community. 

The JTAFV Inc. offers support, appropriate information and referrals to those members of the Jewish community who find themselves in vulnerable circumstances as a result of family violence and sexual assault.  Our services have been extended with the utmost discretion and we have always maintained the strictest level of confidentiality to anyone who has ever reached out to our members for assistance.
