VAWnet Event Calendar

The work of domestic and sexual violence organizations is built on relationships and collaboration, and it takes all of us working together to support survivors and prevent violence. Collaborative and transparent decision-making processes can help us build stronger connections both inside and outside our organizations. An organization’s mission should be the foundation for how decisions are made. This webinar will offer guidance on how organizations can create decision-making processes that stay true to their mission while strengthening relationships with key stakeholders.

The National Indigenous Women's Resource Center is thrilled to announce the 2025 Women Are Sacred (WAS) Conference will take place July 29-31, 2025, at the Baird Convention Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin! One of the nation’s most inspiring and impactful gatherings, the Women Are Sacred Conference is a cornerstone in the movement to end violence against Native women and children.

This webinar will explore how to incorporate a range of accommodations for survivors with a range of disabilities into new or existing economic empowerment programs.

In this virtual conversation, Activating Change’s Kaitlin Kall and Jordan Landry, access consultant and criminal legal reform advocate, will discuss their collaborative work, including on Activating Change’s new report. They will share about the urgency behind their advocacy around the intersection of disability and mass incarceration, challenges they’ve experienced in the field, and the opportunities they see for achieving a system that supports – rather than punishes and degrades – people with disabilities and Deaf people.

The Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence & Indiana Domestic Violence Fatality Review Team published the Model Collaborative Strangulation Response Protocol for Indiana Jurisdictions in October 2023. But it took 4 long years, many stops and starts and several revisions along the way. This workshop will walk you through our process to get from recommendation to realization to implementation. We will examine the challenges, the barriers and the pushbacks and discuss how we worked through all of them.
