The mission of the King County Coalition Against
Domestic Violence (KCCADV) is to work to end domestic violence
by facilitating collective action for social change. In county-wide
public policy and education efforts, the Coalition provides
leadership on behalf of community based victim service agencies
and their allies. The Coalition strives to represent the diverse
interests of victims and survivors of domestic violence.
Values
We value justice. We recognize that domestic
violence is rooted in oppression, and that all forms of oppression
are interconnected. Therefore, in our struggle to end domestic
violence, we work to change institutions that overtly or covertly
support the abuse of power between individuals and groups
of people.
We value equality. We are a feminist organization,
which means that we advocate the same rights and opportunities
be granted to women as are granted to men. We support the
equitable distribution of power and privilege throughout society.
We value equitable distribution of resources.
We recognize that poverty and lack of resources are major
barriers to safety and autonomy, and therefore work to improve
the economic options available to women and children.
We value self-determination. We therefore
work to support and expand the choices available to victims
and survivors of domestic violence, including, but not limited
to, religious freedom, reproductive choice, sexual orientation,
and gender identity.
We value safety. We work with our communities
to protect the emotional, sexual, and physical safety of victims
and to hold perpetrators accountable for their actions.
We value the varied perspectives of women who have
been abused. We establish mechanisms to gather and
incorporate input from survivors so that these perspectives
guide our work.
We value collaboration. We work to involve
broad segments of our communities in taking a stand against
domestic violence. We also link with other progressive movements
for social justice.
