WAVE, Women Against Violence Everywhere


Jeanette Stofleth is a gifted musician with an aptitude for multiple instruments and a love for unique musical styles. A cofounder of Seattle-based band The Acoustics, Jeanette Stofleth finds time outside of her musical ventures to give back to organizations she believes in, such as WAVE, Women Against Violence Everywhere.

With 1 out of 3 women experiencing a form of domestic violence in their lifetime, Women Against Violence Everywhere was formed in 2000 to combat this troubling statistic. The signature event of the organization is Cycle the WAVE, a women's cycling event t has raised over $1 million to help women escape from these dangerous home situations.

Throughout Washington State, WAVE travels to schools and community centers to teach young people basic self-defense, sexual assault awareness, and violence education. Empowering children to set boundaries and build confidence, WAVE caters its classes to the needs of those attending, from elementary, middle, and high school boys and girls to young people enrolled in comprehensive college programs. 

The organization also hosts the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes program, which calls on men of all ages to, quite literally, walk one mile around the University of Washington campus in high heels, with proceeds benefiting WAVE.
