Abby’s Voice was established in July 2008 by Kathy and Chuck Robertson, in memory of their 21-year old daughter, Abigail, who was brutally murdered on December 11, 2007. She was stalked and harassed repeatedly by an ex-boyfriend for several months before the fatal attack.

These are the Missions of the Foundation:

1. • To educate high school and college-age women on the dangers of domestic violence. While much attention is already being directed toward awareness of domestic violence, current advocates focus mainly on older women.
   

2. Younger women, too, are at risk.
   

1. •  Provide direction, outlets for support and protection for young women who feel they are at risk of an attack or are in an unsafe relationship.
   

1. •  Provide education and direction to the parents of at-risk young women.
   

1. •  Educate the community on the economics of preventing violent crimes.
   

1. • Create awareness and exposure to pressure law enforcement, district attorneys, and legislators to focus their attention on funding prevention of these attacks, rather than funding of prosecution after the fact.
   

2. 
   

3. • Develop programs in schools for young men at risk of acting out abuse and anger issues.
