What We Do
Since 1987, the WCADVSA has served as the leading voice on sexual and domestic violence in Wyoming.
Our work centers around social justice and grassroots efforts, the analysis of the oppression of women and other disenfranchised groups, the values of peer support and policy change, and in expanding leadership roles. We focus on system change and reform, we engage in anti-oppression work, and we work to improve laws at the state and national levels.
At the beginning and end of every day, we are accountable to the domestic violence and sexual assault programs in Wyoming and the victims they serve.
Our Core Work
At WCADVSA, our main goal is simple: we lift up the voices of survivors. Everything we do helps make sure survivors are heard, supported, and safe. Our work focuses on three main areas:
Helping Survivors Heal and Rebuild Their Lives
We support programs that provide safe places to stay, emotional support, and resources that help people move forward after abuse.
Improving How Systems Respond to Survivors
We work with police, courts, health care, and other services so survivors are treated with fairness, respect, and care.
Building Communities That Prevent Violence
We go beyond raising awareness. We partner with schools, workplaces, and local groups to create communities where violence is stopped before it starts.
How We Do It
We provide advocacy support—the training, help, and resources our member programs and partners need to do their work. This includes:
Training to give programs and partners the tools and knowledge to support survivors.
Hands-on help (technical assistance) for organizations to improve policies and practices.
Resources and information that strengthen local programs and connect people to proven strategies.
By working together with survivors, our member programs, and our partners, we’re not only responding to violence — we’re working to end it.
