About Woman Abuse Working Group
Who We Are
We are a coalition of over 20 community agencies, coordinating our services to eradicate violence against women and children. We are guided by women with lived experience and by Violence Against Women (VAW) women’s organizations, working with community agencies, government agencies, and individuals, who are committed to the eradication of violence against women and their children. We strive to reflect and represent the diversity of our community.
Vision
To live in communities without violence.
Mission
Guided by an integrated anti-racist, anti-oppression, intersectional feminist framework, we support efforts through advocacy, education and leadership to engage the community to end violence against women* (and their children) by working to remove systemic barriers that perpetuate this violence.
