History [Herstory]
Who We Are
SWIWC’s vision: To have safe indigenous communities.
SWIWC’s mission: To increase the capacity of indigenous communities to address and respond to violence through education, training, technical assistance, policy advocacy, and culturally sensitive and supportive services.
SWIWC’s service area: All 22 tribes in Arizona are welcome to receive services from SWIWC. However, SWIWC’s sister tribal coalition, the Hopi-Tewa Women’s Coalition to End Abuse serves the Hopi Nation and some tribes such as the Navajo Nation, Kaibab-Paiute, and Zuni participate in other tribal coalitions that are geographically closer to them.
