Strong Hearted Native Womens Coalition Inc

Strong Hearted Native Women’s Coalition, Inc. works to bring awareness against sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, sex-trafficking, and murdered & missing within tribal communities in California. The purpose of our coalition is to enhance the capacity of survivors, advocates, victim organizations, and victim service providers to end violence against American Indian and Alaskan Native people.
