Mission Statement for ANWC

 We are committed to the elimination of personal and societal violence in the lives of women and children.  We are dedicated to the empowerment of all victims and believe in the right of all people to live without fear, threat and oppression.

We believe that through exploring the traditional cultures of the native people of Alaska and taking a closer look at the historical impact of colonization, we can begin to better understand the grassroots causes for the increase in domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking incidents.
