The wait is over!
This is Violence Free Iowa: The Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence.
Violence Free Iowa leads and supports a statewide coalition of 25 victim service provider organizations advancing sexual and domestic violence prevention efforts, crisis intervention, and long-term stability.
The name Violence Free Iowa puts the goal first – not the violence we are responding to, but the vision we are working toward: communities that thrive free from violence.
This week, we shared pieces of the work that brought us here: decades of advocacy and statewide leadership, deep subject-matter expertise, and sexual assault and domestic violence victim service providers working every day in communities across Iowa. Today, that work has a new name.
Getting here took time, listening, and learning. Survivors, sexual assault comprehensive programs, dual sexual and domestic violence programs, culturally specific programs, coalition members, staff, and key stakeholders shared their experiences, expertise, and feedback to help shape this identity. Thank you for being part of the process.
We also want to thank our marketing consultants, Goizane Mullin and Andrea Love, for their partnership, creativity, and guidance throughout this process. Their expertise and leadership played such an important role in bringing our new identity together.
We’re proud to finally share Violence Free Iowa with you. Learn more about who we are, our work, and the story behind our new identity at www.violencefreeiowa.org.
