 , (RPHR) is a national legal and policy organization that advocates for public policy reform, justice and dignity for vulnerable families.
The Rebecca Project strives to reform child welfare, criminal justice, and substance abuse policies that impact the lives of vulnerable families. We frame the pervasiveness of violence against women and girls, the draconian conditions that too often characterize maternal incarceration, and the dearth of access to health and healing for mothers and their children, as fundamental human rights violations.
- We seek to stop the shattering cycle of violence, trauma and addiction.
- We seek to urge for policies and practices that honor, strengthen, and render whole the sacred ties between parents and children.
- We affirm the worth and dignity of every child, every family.

Our Vision |
 We believe that vulnerable mothers and children—and all families—have the right to live free of sexual and physical violence, to heal from the injuries of violence, trauma and addiction, and to raise our children in healthy, safe, and strong communities.
