Welcome to JUST FOR WOMEN, a woman-to-woman helping hand, extended to Queens natives and newcomers alike. We have all faced challenges that can be confusing and difficult to go through alone. Speaking to someone who has gone through a similar situation who can empathize and possibly offer advice can help you through trying and devastating times. We’ve therefore compiled this guide to address these issues and to safeguard the privacy in these personal matters. Feel free to open a conversation by saying, “Hi, I saw your name on the JUST FOR WOMEN list and I would like to ask about...”.
