Creating a safer Tulsa for all
Oklahoma is second in the nation for women being murdered by men in single victim and single offender incidents.
Children bear a burden
As domestic violence incidents increase, children are often caught at the center of the resulting chaos.
Recognizing the profound negative impact on children who witness violence in their homes, GKFF is actively working to help our community respond, decrease harm and mitigate the impact of domesticviolence.
Our approach
We collaborate with local stakeholders and domestic violence service providers to develop evidence-based restorative justice approaches that will reduce domestic violence in Tulsa.
We prioritize the safety of survivors, especially children, in shaping our initiatives and strategies. Community-led efforts are working to reduce sexual and domestic violence, human trafficking and stalking, while providing inclusive intervention and prevention services to protect vulnerable individuals.
