The Sicangu Coalition Against Sexual & Domestic Violence will work for the social and institutional changes necessary to eliminate both personal and societal violence against all women. Systemic change must involve multidisciplinary and community approach in addressing issues of violence against women and must involve our youth and elders—the youth to learn in order to lead in the future and elders for wisdom.

Why do we do what we do?
· Native Americans are raped at a rate more than double than rapes reported by all other races on an annual average.
· Native women are victimized by an intimate partner at rates higher than those for all other females of any race.
· At least 70% of the violent victimizations experienced by Native Americans are committed by person not of the same race
