Gender-based violence has been present in tribal communities since colonization, tied to the historical and ongoing oppression of Native people’s bodies, lands, and sovereignty. Gender-based violence encompasses all types of abuse that women, girls, Two-spirit, transgender, and non-binary relatives can experience. This violence can include domestic violence and intimate partner violence, physical, sexual, mental, and economic forms of abuse. At CSVANW, we strive to support tribal communities, advocates, and providers who are engaging in anti-violence work.
