The Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence (PCADV) is a statewide collaborative membership organization committed to ending intimate partner violence and all forms of violence and oppression.
We envision a Commonwealth where, collectively, we create a community that supports all Pennsylvanians in the human right to live healthy, stable, and rewarding lives free from intimate partner violence and all forms of violence and oppression.
At PCADV, we embrace diversity and its collective strength in creating a community where systems support ALL so everyone can thrive. Led by this principle and to fulfill our mission of ending all forms of violence, we simultaneously strive to challenge and eliminate all types of systemic racism, oppression, and injustice.
Domestic violence flourishes in isolation. This isolation is often accompanied by unequal access to systems and resources, further disempowering individuals and compromising their safety and well-being. We confront these systems, which perpetuate oppression by granting power to the few while minimizing and alienating the many.
We commit to holding ourselves accountable within the systems that perpetuate oppression by providing ongoing education and advocacy. These values are the compass for our work and pervade our priorities: prevention, intervention, and change.
