Joy's story began in a place of fear and uncertainty. Facing domestic violence, sexual assault, and abuse related to her immigration status, Joy felt lost and isolated. Having been to court already and after consulting numerous local victim service organizations, she could not find the support she so desperately needed. Struggling to navigate an abusive situation, Joy felt her options were limited to "either jail or homelessness." Then, after one particularly concerning violent incident, everything changed when the local court system recommended the Pace Women's Justice Center.
