I have a strong interest in feminist topics and hope to use Wikipedia to present information fairly and clearly for people across the world.

I would like to expand and improve the Women’s Shelter page in many ways. First, I would like to add a section on resources for women in each state and, if possible, a section on resources in other countries. I would also like to add a section on the importance of these shelters and the work that they do today. The current article focuses on history, funding and resources for male and underage victims. It does not focus on the main targets of domestic violence or how people can access these resources.
