South Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault

For 45 years, SCCADVASA has served as the collective voice for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault across South Carolina. Working in partnership with a statewide network of member programs, we bring survivor and community perspectives to policymakers while strengthening the systems meant to protect and support those impacted by violence. 

Our Work
We work towards ending domestic and sexual violence in South Carolina and beyond through engaging individuals and communities in advocacy, collaboration and education. We advocate for the transformative social change that will result in a society free of violence, push for policy changes that support survivors, and provide education and technical assistance to build the capacity of our members, allied organizations and communities to provide trauma-informed and survivor-centered services.

Our Hope
Our hope is for community in which prevention work is our focus-a commitment to prevent sexual and domestic violence from occurring in the first place-where we can center our work on the building of healthy relationship practices rather than the aftermath of violence. Everyone has the right to live in a community where respect and trust form the core of relationships and fear has no place to thrive.

Thank you for your support and for choosing to be part of this critical work. Your generosity helps sustain our efforts and ensure survivors and communities across South Carolina are informed, supported, and heard.
