This World Day Against Trafficking in Persons sparks awareness toward the ongoing impact in Native communities facing the epidemic of MMIWR. We stand with survivors. We honor their stories and uplift their strengths as they share their stories to help others understand.
When a survivor learns that there is space dedicated to supporting their healing journey, it encourages them to speak up and share their experiences. Advocating for safe, healing spaces and supportive resources for survivors is one steps towards breaking cycles of violence in Native communities.
Offering survivors a space to share their stories empowers the movement to break the cycles of violence in Native communities. CSVANW is proud of everyone who stand beside survivors, protecting and uplifting the voices of those who choose to share their stories.
Accessibility is community care. This Disability Pride Month, let’s create spaces where every relative belongs. Accessible gatherings, respectful communication, seating, shade, and water help everyone participate with dignity. Protecting our relatives means making space for all relatives.

Every elder deserves to live feeling safe, respected, and supported. CSVANW recognizes that protecting elders is part of breaking cycles of violence. We encourage communities to learn about the signs of elder abuse, support survivors, and speak up for them to ensure a safe future for all relatives.
