Projects

Due to the multi-faceted aspects of our work to end violence against women, NDCAWS administers many projects to develop a well-rounded effort. The diversity of these projects allows us to target prevention, education, and intervention toward all sectors of our communities.

We have awareness projects, such as the Clothesline Project, which assist in starting a discussion or getting people to think more intensely about the issue of violence against women. We celebrate Domestic Violence Unity Month in October, Love Without Fear Week in February, and Sexual Assault Awareness Month in April.

We coordinate projects that focus the work toward specific populations or age groups, such as the Campus Violence Project, the Rural Outreach Project, and the Native American Forum.

We oversee projects that ensure quality services to victims of violence, especially through the Court Advocate Certification Project, the Supervised Visitation Project, and the Batterers’ Treatment Forum.

We also recognize the importance of financial independence for victims of violence, so they may more successfully escape abusive situations. For that reason, we manage projects focused on offering opportunities for this independence with the Scholarship Project and the TANF Project.
