We are a non-profit network of over 70 local domestic violence and sexual assault advocacy programs. Our member programs work tirelessly to help survivors of violence towards safety, healing, and freedom. They are part of the community fabric in all 39 counties and nine Tribes in Washington State. One-third of our member programs are led by and for cultural communities or Tribes.
In addition to our member programs, we have a community of individuals and organizations who share our vision for a world in which all people can live and love freely without fear.
