The New National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center, Inc.

From my email, some great news:

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I am excited to announce that the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center, Inc. (NIWRC) is the next National Indian Resource Center Addressing Domestic Violence and Safety for Indian Women.  Beginning this month, through a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act, the NIWRC will begin providing technical assistance and training, policy development, public education, and materials and resource information for Indian and Alaska Native nations, Native Hawaiians, and Native non-profit organizations addressing safety for Native women. We are excited to help provide national leadership to end violence against Native women through important partnerships with the National Congress of American Indians Task Force on Violence Against Women, the National Task Force to End Sexual and Domestic Violence Against Women, the Domestic Violence Resource Network, numerous Indian nations, national Indian organizations, tribal coalitions, other national organizations addressing violence against women, and Native women’s advocates. 

We have a truly outstanding Board of Directors from across the nation to ensure that our work remains true to supporting and upholding Native grassroots advocacy and social change to address violence against Native women.  On behalf of our Board of Directors and staff, I look forward to working with you and others as we begin our journey forward as the next National Indian Resource Center.  Please let us know how we may be able to support your efforts at enhancing safety of Native women in your communities.  

Stay tuned for email blasts with information regarding upcoming activities, including training, webinars, and technical assistance and resource material availability. 

Ahéhee',
