Have you ever been forced to reckon with the the hero within the woman. We call this a SHERO. A shero to us are women that have faced horrifying, life threatening and life changing situations, yet soldier on despite of them. One of our most adored S-H-E-M-A Gurls member “Diana” once called US her sheros. This statement has never been taken lightly, because to be a hero of any fashion or form, you would have had to made a difference in the lives of others or your own.

This blog is dedicated to women that have OVERCOME and while overcoming, are still helping others. It is also a tool to teach women how to protect themselves while implementing the confidence and skills to do so.  This blog is also a reminder that sisterhood is key to achieving goals.  With sisterhood we understand that working together not only builds self character, but it also builds a stronger SHERO in YOU.

We have recently had the honor of meeting a woman that has fit this profile to a “T”….

Elsie Allen, the founder of “Sisters SOS” (sisters supernaturally overcoming situations). Her mission is to provide women with information, tools and training essential for a safe and secure life. The vision of Sister’s S.O.S is to prepare women today and future generations of women with a safety plan of action that will help them avoid danger if possible, defend themselves if necessary and most importantly, know how to survive unsafe situations.

Sisters SOS want to always recognize the women who have made a difference in your lives by sharing these stories of encouragement with others.

An Article on Mercola.com reports the following:

Women who were physically or sexually abused as children are far more likely to enter into abusive relationships as adults. The study findings suggest that identifying and helping girls who are being abused or are at risk for abuse can help break the cycle of family violence.

Women who were raped before the age of 16 were more than three times more likely to experience domestic violence as adults and nearly three times as likely to be raped.  The frequency and severity of childhood abuse was also associated with abuse in adulthood.  Women who abused drugs or alcohol were also significantly more likely to be abused.

The researchers note that abused adults have been found to have higher rates of unemployment and poverty. Sexual abuse is also associated with unwanted pregnancies, multiple sex partners and psychiatric problems.
Overall, 9% of women reported that they had been raped in childhood, 11% reported unwanted sexual activities but no intercourse, 5% said they had been severely beaten by a parent or caretaker one time, and 12% said they had been beaten more than once. Two percent of women reported experiencing all forms of abuse during childhood.
As adults, 17% of the women said they had experienced domestic violence with more than one partner. Eight percent had been raped, and 9% had been sexually assaulted but not raped.  Family violence is not only a social and legal issue, but a health issue as well. End
