Mission Statement
The Center for Survivor Agency and Justice envisions a world where all people have equal access to physical safety, economic security, and human dignity. We strive toward this vision by developing and promoting advocacy approaches that remove systemic barriers, enhance organizational responses, and improve professional practices to meet the self-defined needs of domestic and sexual violence survivors.
Description
The Center for Survivor Agency and Justice is a national organization that enhances safety for survivors of domestic and sexual violence by addressing economic, racial, and social inequity. CSAJ carries out its work through three levels of impact: 1) enhancing individual advocacy through training, tools, and strategizing with advocates, lawyers, and programs, 2) enhancing community and organizational responses through demonstration site work that assesses the needs of advocates and survivors in context and develops and implements strategic plans responsive to those needs and opportunities to create institutional change; and 3) supporting and leading systems and policy change efforts that target the economic barriers facing survivors.
