Becky Lee

Becky Lee is the Founder and Executive Director of Becky's Fund, a national non-profit dedicated to the prevention and education of domestic violence.

Ms. Becky Lee received her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Women's Studies from the University of Michigan and then continued on to receive her Juris Doctorate Degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. Interested in the prevention of domestic violence, Ms. Lee has been working on issues concerning domestic violence survivors over the last 10 years as an advocate, a policy associate and an attorney. She is also passionate about creating awareness of the specific needs of battered immigrant women, such as language access and cultural competency. Additionally, she has worked as a kickboxing instructor for over 6 years and has focused on helping battered women regain their confidence and self-esteem through her classes and guidance.

When she was given the opportunity to try out for the CBS hit reality show Survivor during the summer of 2006, Ms. Lee decided to go for it because she wanted to break media stereotypes of Asian Americans and also bring more awareness to the prevalence of domestic violence. Now that the show is over, she continues to dedicate her time to these causes. With much of the money she made on the show, Ms. Lee created the non-profit organization, Becky's Fund, to help educate victims on the available resources to help them find safety while educating the community about the prevalence of domestic violence and how to get involved to help others experiencing abuse.

Becky's Fund works on nationwide campaigns, public media efforts and other venues to create awareness on domestic violence, particularly in the immigrant and marginalized communities. The goal is not only to help the abused, but to provide sustainable resources and solutions to eradicate domestic violence through education, prevention and intervention. Currently, Becky's Fund is engaged in a national domestic violence college tour, targeting a new generation of students across the 50 states. To learn more please visit: http://www.beckysfund.org.
