December 2010 Issue: Through WCADV's Connected Cultures Leadership Institute (CCLI), we engaged in a year-long educational process with survivors of violence and/or women from communities of color. Many of the 2010 CCLI graduates contributed to this issue of the WCADV Coalition Chronicles.

December 2009 Issue: At its core, domestic violence is a form of oppression. Victims of color, immigrant and/or refugee victims often also face the oppression of racism, causing greater barriers and intersecting layers of abuse. As a movement, we are challenged to examine the ways that our own individual and institutional racism contribute to disparate services for victims of color.

WCADV and WCASA co-sponsor a statewide committee to give voice to people who are under-represented, based on gender identity and/or sexual orientation and whose lives have been effected by sexual and/or domestic violence. Our membership includes community members, program staff, direct-service advocates and people interested in addressing the issues of sexual and domestic violence for the LGBT community.
