COALITION AGAINST RAPE & DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OF CALLAWAY COUNTY

Description

The Coalition Against Rape and Domestic Violence (CARDV) of Callaway County is a non-profit organization of committed advocates and volunteers whose mission is to break the cycles of domestic abuse and sexual violence. At the heart of this mission is the belief that all women, men, and children have the fundamental rights of emotional and physical safety and of freedom from violence and assault in their homes, in their communities, and throughout their lives.

CARDV was founded in 1994 when a small group of community members came together to form a Board of Directors. In 1997, CARDV hired their first Victim Advocate. Since then, we have continued to expand and restructure our professional staff and services to meet the most pressing needs of the community we serve.
