Offenders Know Their Rights.... If You Were A
Victim of Violent Crime, Would You Know Yours?
Victims of violent crime have rights. Yet every day in every county througout Ohio, crime victims' rights are violated.
The Justice League of Ohio was founded in 2003 to protect the rights of children and families whom have become victims of violent crime. The Justice League helps to restore faith and balance in the criminal justice system by ensuring that the laws in place to protect crime victims are upheld as diligently as the rights of defendants and offenders. We are a private non-profit organization that needs your support.
If you are a victim of violent crime and you believe your rights have been violated... WE CAN HELP
THE DILLER-VON FURSTENBERG FAMILY FOUNDATION GRANTS $10,000 TO THE JUSTICE LEAGUE
Catherine Harper Lee, Founder of The Justice League was nominated for The Diane von Furstenberg "People's Voice" Award created to recognize and support women who are using their vision, resources and commitment to transform lives. These are women who have had the courage to fight, the power to survive and the leadership to inspire.
The Justice League would like to thank all of our supporters who voted and to congratulate the winner of the DVF Award, Katherine Chon. Ms. Chon is co-founder of a remarkable organization, Polaris Project.
It was a tremendous honor to be one of five women in the nation nominated for this prestigious award. It is even a greater honor that the emerging, and desperately needed, service of providing crime victims free legal assistance to preserve and protect their rights throughout the criminal justice process has been recognized in this national forum.
In addition, Diane von Furstenberg and the Diller-von Furstenberg Family Foundation has generously committed to providing a $10,000 grant to The Justice League to help us continue our mission of preserving and protecting crime victims rights.
This grant will be presented at the "Women in the World" Summit held on March 12-14 at the United Nations. The Summit will be attended by celebrities, activists and dignitaries including Madeleine Albright, Christiane Amanpour, Meryl Streep, Hillary Clinton, Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan, Thomas Friedman, Katie Couric and Cherie Blair.
