The Iowa Coalition Against Domestic Violence (ICADV) ICADV is the leading voice to end intimate partner violence in Iowa. Through our network of 22 statewide victim service programs, we provide comprehensive services to anyone who has been a victim of a violent crime – before, during and after. This includes but is not limited to: • Academic scholarship opportunities • Advocacy training and consultation/technical assistance to member programs, community and statewide partners • Coordination of statewide multi-disciplinary efforts to respond to victims • Direct support and personal advocacy to survivors of intimate partner violence • Emergency shelter • Financial empowerment courses • Identifying and developing services to respond to underserved communities • Legal assistance Policy and advocacy change at the local, state and national levelOur agency recognizes that in addition to physical, psychological, emotional, financial and sexual abuse, survivors are impacted by the actions and attitudes of individuals and systems who perpetuate racism, sexism, xenophobia and homophobia. That is why we take a survivor-centered approach to victim services and believe community-based agencies and interventions, healthcare, educational and government systems should work together, centering the voices and experiences of those most vulnerable in our communities to enhance safety for survivors and their families. When that happens, everyone has the ability to reach their full potential, thrive and live a life free from violence ... to the Last Girl.
