Established in 1980, the Office for Women promotes equal rights, independence, self-sufficiency, and physical and emotional safety for Westchester County women and their families through education and research, direct and contracted services, and by influencing public policy. It offers counseling, legal advocacy, help obtaining Orders of Protection, child support and custody, safety planning, and other support services for victims and families. Westchester County, through the Office for Women, has provided ongoing support to the Her Honor Mentoring Program since its inception in 2007.
