Mission
Our Mission
To bring about social change through advocacy, technical assistance, and public awareness.
History
Founded in 1980, the Mississippi Coalition Against Domestic Violence (MCADV) has been a steadfast advocate in the battle against domestic violence. Emerging from the roots of the battered women’s movement, this non-profit organization embodies the core values of social justice, self-determination, and the fight to end domestic violence oppression.
The visionary leaders who established MCADV were committed to eliminating violence against women and diminishing its impact on communities. Today, the organization continues to uphold these foundational ideals, addressing the complex and diverse issues related to domestic violence.
MCADV is a leader in advocacy, education, and public awareness, ensuring the availability of essential resources, technical assistance, and legal support. As the state’s premier agency on domestic violence, MCADV provides crucial information and resources, empowering advocates, victims, and survivors on their path to a safer and more equitable future.
