Who We Are
Our mission is to stop violence against Native women and children by advocating for social change in our communities.
Organized in 1996 by three founding Native women, Peggy Bird (Kewa), Darlene Correa (Laguna Pueblo), and Genne James (Navajo), the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women (CSVANW) was created to provide support to other Native advocates working in domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, stalking, and sex trafficking in New Mexico’s tribal communities.

We are focused on shaping policy, conducting outreach, increasing awareness, informing priorities and working to ensure that our tribal communities are represented within conversations where we have historically been underrepresented.
Donate
General contributions and donations from individual supporters and organizational partners are essential for CSVANW`s sustainability and effectiveness.

[Description: Across four graphics, white and orange text against a pink background reads: “Safety Planning If You’re a Student in School. Title IX and Federal Funding. If your school receives federal funding, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 defines how your school must respond to dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Public schools, and many private schools, receive federal funding and may have specific staff members to help with Title IX obligations. If the abuser is a student... ...and if the abuse occurred on school grounds, or during a school-sponsored event, your school is required to offer supportive measures and a grievance process to you. Supportive measures can include things like no-contact orders, moving dorms, changing your class schedule, and counseling. If the abuser is not a student... ...or if the abuse occurred outside of school grounds and events, your school may not be obligated to respond, but many schools still offer help and resources.
