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.

July 14 is recognized around the world as Internat

July 14 is recognized around the world as International Non-Binary People’s Day. The term “non-binary” describes someone who does not identify exclusively as a man or a woman. Non-binary folks may identify as being both a man and a woman or as falling completely outside these categories. This day shines a light on our relatives who identify as non-binary and celebrates the rich diversity of the community. CSVANW sends you love and acceptance! You are sacred, you are valid, you are loved! Keep doing you relative! #NonbinaryDay
