#iwillRUNforher 5k Benefit Run/Walk 1k Kid’s Run

Who will you run for? Dedicate your run this October in the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women’s upcoming #IWillRunForHer 5k Community Run to raise awareness about how you or your loved one(s) have been affected by domestic violence!

October is domestic violence awareness month. 4 out of 5 of our Native women are affected by violence, with 55% of their experiences being domestic violence. To further the conversations about the impact of domestic violence on our Native women and children, CSVANW will be hosting a 5k Community Run and 1k Kid awareness run to honor the resilience, strength and spirit of our Native women and children. As a statewide tribal coalition, we invite all of our tribal communities, survivors, members, service providers, families of survivors, and supporters to join us. Save the date!

Advancing Advocacy is the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women’s 40-hour core advocacy training for NM state certification that focuses on providing the foundational skills for advocates and first responders who work in the domestic violence fields both with, and within, all of New Mexico’s tribal communities. Participants will explore the dynamics of domestic violence in tribal communities, historical trauma, human trafficking of Native women and children, orders of protection, domestic violence against members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, safety planning and confidentiality, and explore the impacts of domestic violence on Native children. The training also focuses on the role of advocates and teaches self-care skills to enable advocates to be champions for the victim while maintaining a healthy mind and spirit.

Objectives

•  Provide foundational training on the dynamics of domestic violence in tribal communities from the perspective of the Native American victim/survivor, child witness, and perpetrator.
•  Provide best practices to improve collaboration and partnership amongst tribal leadership, advocates, and criminal justice and community professionals through a multidisciplinary approach.
•  Promote effective domestic violence training, prevention, awareness and risk reduction programs
