Give Yourself Real Love – Women Working To Eliminate Domestic Abuse

Giving Yourself Real Love - Women Working To Eliminate Domestic Abuse G.Y.R.L. is a grassroots group of Women that came about to change the attitudes, learned behaviors and misconceptions that made domestic abuse a hidden but accepted practice in their community.
