Violence Is Not Our Tradition

Sexual Violence is not a new concept in tribal communities. Since colonization, Native men, women have experienced it in overwhelming numbers. Sexual violence can include everything from catcalling, sexual harassment, molestation, incest, and rape. At CSVANW, we support tribal communities who are doing the difficult work of advocating for survivors, advocating for funding, and advocating for the end of sexual violence against all Native men, women, and children.
