About Us

Our mission is to stop violence against Native women and children by advocating for social change in our communities.

Organized in 1996 by three founding Native women, Peggy Bird (Kewa), Darlene Correa (Laguna Pueblo) and Genne James (Navajo), the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women (CSVANW) was created to provide support to other Native advocates working in domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, stalking and sex trafficking in New Mexico’s tribal communities.

Missing & Murdered Diné Relatives was established Missing & Murdered Diné Relatives was established in March 2019 through the grassroots efforts of Diné (Navajo) women intent and committed to creating social change, supporting families and communities, and providing advocacy efforts that promote sovereignty and agency of our people. Their community-based work is intent on pushing back against systems that have either created challenges or harmed Diné families and work to support Navajo communities and families through advocacy, awareness, and influencing positive and sustainable social change.

Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women is happy to announce our Training & Education Director Jolene Holgate, a co-founder of the Missing & Murdered Diné Relatives (MMDR) organization, was selected as their MMDR Board Chair on March 29, 2023. When Jolene came to CSVANW, she was passionate about working to support all tribal communities while continuing to carry her home community in her heart through community organizing with MMDR. In the spirit of solidarity, the coalition has been able to partner and collaborate with MMDR to help complete their Missing Persons Community Action Toolkit, provide TA support for advocacy training, and lean on MMDR to help develop our coalition’s MMIWR advocacy core training. Supporting and uplifting grassroots organizations has allowed us to collaborate with love, engage in movement building, and provide strong support to Native survivors and families. Congratulations Jolene!

1️⃣ DEMAND lawmakers vote NO on bathroom and public facility bans.

3️⃣ ELEVATE trans-led access and safety organizations like…
