Mission |
|
It is the mission of the North Dakota Council on Abused
Women’s Services/Coalition Against Sexual Assault in North
Dakota (NDCAWS/CASAND) to pursue and expose the causes of
domestic violence and sexual violence, provide direct and
immediate services to those who are victimized, and
support those who provide such services. We work toward
these goals without discrimination based on age, race,
gender, religion, political philosophy, sexual
orientation, national origins, or ethnic or cultural
differences. We work for the major social changes
necessary to eliminate personal and societal violence
against all people. We are further committed to increasing
public awareness about domestic violence and sexual
assault and providing viable solutions to address issues
of violence. |
