Steven Tyler Starts Janie’s Fund For Abused Women

Steven Tyler has started a new philanthropic initiative aimed at helping girls who have been abused and neglected.

Janie’s Fund, opened in association with Youth Villages, will raise both money and awareness for the organization to provide trauma-informed care and experiential therapies to girls who have histories of abuse and neglect.

Tyler said “As a father and grandfather, I want to focus my energy on things that really matter and leave behind something else in this crazy world along with my music. I am starting Janie’s Fund to give a voice to the millions of victims who haven’t had one and encourage everyone to join me on this mission.”

Named after Aerosmith’s 1989 song Janie’s Got a Gun which was focused on the subject of child abuse. Estimates say each year, 1 in 5 girls in the United States experiences sexual abuse.
