The Oregon Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence (OCADSV) was founded in 1978 as a feminist nonprofit organization comprised of programs serving survivors of domestic and sexual violence throughout the state. We provide technical assistance, training, and public education to local crisis centers and their communities; engage in systems advocacy; and support multidisciplinary efforts to improve access to and coordination of services to survivors. These activities promote recognition of sexual assault and domestic violence, enhance systemic responses to victims and their families, and support innovative approaches to ending domestic and sexual violence. We view a commitment to social change as necessary to end violence against women and children, as well as to end oppression of all people. The Coalition promotes the belief that all women have the inherent right to make their own decisions concerning lifestyles, sexuality, sexual orientation, education, employment, reproductive matters and spirituality. We are committed to supporting and involving underserved communities as well as upholding standards for anti-racism work.
