About Me


Hello Everyone I chose to establish the Stop Female Abuse Program because my main objective is to ensure the safety of women in my community. Safety inevitably guarantees Happiness. I am a 4th year student at the University of Waterloo; where I'm Majoring in Legal Studies and a Specialization in Sociology with a Minor in Religious Studies. Therefore, my passion is serving justice in the community. I believe Justice can range from Happiness to an incarceration sentence. My blog will consist of Statistics, Academic Research and Review of Literature. My inspiration for The SFAP comes from personal experiences and from my academic research. Please be critical of everything you read. Be aware about domestic violence and stay safe.
