Minnesota Network on Abuse in Later Life

|
The Minnesota Network on Abuse in
Later Life evolved from the original Older Battered Women's
Committee of the Minnesota Coalition for Battered Women. The
Older Battered Women's Committee began meeting in 1989 with
advocates from across the state gathering specifically to
address the unique needs of older women who were victims of
domestic and sexual violence.
It soon became apparent that the needs of victims of domestic
and sexual abuse in later life can only be met by a cooperative
effort of providers, advocates and activists serving the
elderly. This growing recognition prompted the committee to
become a free standing statewide non-profit membership
organization. MNALL is a collaborative effort with membership
and participation from all sectors serving seniors including:
· domestic and sexual violence advocates
· adult protection
· law enforcement
· court personnel
· health care providers
·
representatives from communities of color and
tribal
organizations
· community senior service providers
