Policy Advocacy

SWIWC works to support policy that positively creates change that strengthens the response to domestic and sexual violence in tribal communities. SWIWC does this by bringing together those that create and influence policy and legislation to encourage education, networking, collaboration, and proactive change for increased safety, justice, and healing for survivors of domestic and sexual violence. SWIWC also participates in numerous tribal, state, and federal meetings of task forces, committees, and other subject matter groups that are committed to meaningfully addressing the domestic and sexual violence needs within tribal communities.
