History

History

Women Together/ Mujeres Unidas is a non-profit agency founded in 1978 to provide shelter and support services to battered women and their children through funding provided by Texas Legislature HB 1075.

 

Since 1978, the agency has incorporated crisis intervention and support services for victims of domestic violence and sexual violence. In 1990, the agency developed a program to provide group counseling for abusive males.

The agency is governed by an (11) member board of director from diverse backgrounds who are representatives of the community.

 

Philosophy

The mission of Women together is based on the belief of dignity and uniqueness of every person.

We believe in self-determination for all women and the right of all persons to live without fear, abuse, or oppression.

We believe that services should be available to battered or sexually abused individuals/ persons without regard to race, gender, national origin, age, physical disability or religion.

Finally, we believe that abusive people must be held legally and morally accountable for their actions.

 

Vision

To end violence so that individuals may live without fear, abuse or oppression.

Subcategories

  • Extensions

    The Joomla! content management system lets you create webpages of various types using extensions. There are 5 basic types of extensions: components, modules, templates, languages, and plugins. Your website includes the extensions you need to create a basic website in English, but thousands of additional extensions of all types are available. The Joomla! Extensions Directory is the largest directory of Joomla! extensions.

    • Components

      Component ImageComponents are larger extensions that produce the major content for your site. Each component has one or more "views" that control how content is displayed.In the Joomla! administrator there are additional extensions suce as Menus, Redirection, and the extension managers.

    • Modules

      Media ImageModules are small blocks of content that can be displayed in positions on a web page. The menus on this site are displayed in modules. The core of Joomla! includes 17 separate modules ranging from login to search to random images. Each module has a name that starts mod_ but when it displays it has a title. In the descriptions in this section, the titles are the same as the names.

      • Content Modules

        Content modules display article and other information from the content component.

      • User Modules

        User modules interact with the user system, allowing users to login, showing who is logged in, and showing the most recently registered users.

      • Display Modules

        These modules display information from components other than content and user. These include weblinks, news feeds and the media manager.

      • Utility Modules

        Utility modules provide useful functionality such as search, syndication, and statistics.

      • Navigation Modules

        Navigation modules help your visitors move through your site and find what they need.

        Menus provide your site with structure and help your visitors navigate your site.  Although they are all based on the same menu module, the variety of ways menus are used in the sample data show how flexible this module is.

        A menu can range from extremely simple (for example the top menu or the menu for the Australian Parks sample site) to extremely complex (for example the About Joomla! menu with its many levels). They can also be used for other types of presentation such as the site map linked from the "This Site" menu.

        Breadcrumbs provide users with information about where they are in a site.

    • Templates

      Media ImageTemplates give your site its look and feel. They determine layout, colors, type faces, graphics and other aspects of design that make your site unique. Your installation of Joomla comes prepackaged with four templates. Help

    • Plugins

      Plugin ImagePlugins are small task oriented extensions that enhance the Joomla! framework. Some are associated with particular extensions and others, such as editors, are used across all of Joomla!. Most beginning users do not need to change any of the plugins that install with Joomla!. Help
