The Mississippi Coalition Against Domestic Violence was founded in 1980 by domestic violence shelter programs and advocates for battered women to help all victims of domestic violence.



The coalition is comprised of persons working directly, indirectly or who have expressed an interest in the issues and concerns of victims of family violence.



The coalition provides technical assistance to domestic violence shelters, community and professional education and other related assistance to victims of domestic violence across the state. During the last twenty-five years, there has been a movement to end domestic violence and to help those who are victims of this crime. The Mississippi Coalition Against Domestic Violence is committed to this movement.





The Mississippi Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Inc. is comprised of people dealing with concerns of victims of family violence. We present both rural and urban areas.



Our programs support and serve victims of all racial, social, ethnic, religious, and economic groups, regardless of age, sex, or lifestyle.



We oppose the use of violence as a means of control over others and support respect and equality in relationships.



We encourage and support women in assuming responsibility over their lives in the community.
