| dc.description.abstract | It is frightening being a woman in today’s society, as our rights are continuously
threatened. The lack of access to healthcare and the prevalence of domestic
violence, abuse, and trafficking makes it crucial to create a safe and supportive
environment for women. The proposed solution focuses on the establishment of
a secure center for women that provides the adequate care and attention they
deserve. With this site being on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, the facility can
offer safe and legal abortion procedures in federal waters while not breaking any
state laws. The main goal of Her Way Forward is to provide women with essential
healthcare services, including primary care, mental health services, and specialized
services for pregnant women, all within one centralized location.
This thesis involves a possible solution for the problems that women face. For my
research, I will review literature on the topics of both healthcare and domestic
violence while exploring centers worldwide that provide women protection and
healthcare. Providing women with the healthcare they need and deserve will be my primary goal in designing a center for them. | en_US |
