Women of Color Network (WOCN)

Created in 1997, the national Women of Color Network (WOCN) promotes and supports networking and leadership development for women of color advocates and activists working in fields of domestic violence, sexual assault and other fields related to violence against women and their families. The Network seeks to enhance the capacity of these advocates and activists to define and develop culturally specific approaches to strengthen the response to various and interconnected modes of violence within their communities.
