Organizational History: Over the past 38 years, the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence has been a leader in providing services and resources to victims as well as survivors of domestic violence. Originally, the NCADV began at the United States Commission on Civil Rights working to help battered women, but it quickly expanded. The group grew from only one hundred members to thousands of members and they worked together in order to help others with their experiences not only with domestic violence, but also homophobia, sexism, racism, and ageism.

This program was established in order to assist survivors who are unable to afford the cosmetic and reconstructive surgery that is needed in order to repair not only the injuries caused by their abuser, but also to repair their confidence again. We have a network of facial plastic surgeons that volunteer their time and services to remove the physical scars/injuries from abuse, so that our clients can continue to make progress on their tough journey to rehabilitation. Remember My Name (RMN): The Remember My Name project was created in partnership with Ms. Magazine in order to spread awareness of domestic violence as well as honor those that lost their lives due to acts of domestic violence.

In order to honor these women, children, and men, we create a memorial poster every year as well as post their information on our website.

Females are most likely to suffer domestic violence abuse from someone that they know. In such cases, it has been a spouse that is the attacker.
