The Mission of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) is to organize our collective power by advancing transformative work, thinking and leadership in communities and individuals who seek to end violence in our lives.

NCADV believes violence against women and children results from force or threat to achieve and maintain control in intimate relationships as well as from societal abuse of power and domination via sexism, racism, homophobia, classism, anti-Semitism, able-bodyism, ageism and other oppressions. NCADV recognizes abuse of power in society can foster battering by perpetuating conditions that condone violence against women and children.
