Focus Areas

 

CSVANW focuses its efforts on domestic violence, sexual violence, sex trafficking, child abuse and neglect, and teen dating violence. Violence is often interconnected and can be seen as a symptom of larger systemic social problems within our families and our communities. Addressing the social challenges faced by our Native women and children is only possible through the destruction of silos and the forging of strong partnerships between organizations and individuals across our communities.

Our grounding in the movement to end violence is not only to organize but to mobilize our communities towards healthier families and healthier communities. The voices of our communities and the strengths of our women and children shape our priorities, approach and the solutions to violence.

As a tribal coalition, CSVANW does not provide emergency or direct services.  While the Coalition does not provide aid or services, here are some links below for resources and for those new to the field and those trying to find information about the different types of violence.

If you are in an unsafe situation or need immediate assistance, please dial 911.  Or for a safe, confidential way to talk with someone immediately, please call:

Rape Abuse Incest National Network: 1-800-656-4673 (HOPE) or go to www.rainn.org

National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE) or go to www.ndvh.org

If you are in New Mexico, please refer to our Members Listing to find a service provider in your area, which includes safe houses, counselors, or other sources of aid.

Domestic Violence

At CSVANW, we believe that each of our Native women carry within them, the hopes, visions, prayers and songs of their ancestors.

Sexual Violence Is Not Our Tradition

Sexual Violence is not a new concept in tribal communities. Since colonization, Native men, women have experienced it in overwhelming numbers.

Sex Trafficking

Sex trafficking has been in our tribal communities since pre-colonization 500 plus years ago.

MMIW

The U.S Department of Justice found that American Indian women face murder rates that are more than 10 times the national average.

Teen Dating Violence

At CSVANW, we believe that each of our Native youth carry within them, the hopes, visions, prayers and songs of their ancestors.

Tribes and Pueblos

A list of Tribes and Pueblos in New Mexico

Stalking

Stalking is a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear.

Strangulation

“Strangulation” is defined as “the obstruction of blood vessels and/or airflow in the neck resulting in asphyxia.” And just like you can’t be “a little bit pregnant,” victims can’t be “choked just a little bit”.

LGBTQ2S+

The importance of centering the experiences, strengths and needs of people within our Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer/Questioning, Two Spirit (LGBTQ2S+) communities is important to us at CSVANW.

Lateral Violence

Lateral violence is a form of bullying, and can often be called horizontal violence, which has been defined as “organized, harmful behaviors that we do to each other collectively...”

Consent

Consent is a HUGE concept to keep in mind when thinking of how we are in relation those around us.

Workplace Trauma

We can all name survivors of violence and crime that have experienced trauma, but how often do we associate trauma within the workplace?

Bullying

“Bullying” means any repeated and pervasive written, verbal or electronic expression, physical act or gesture, or a pattern thereof, that is intended to cause distress upon one or more students
