What is LCADV?
The Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence (LCADV) is the federally designated state-wide coalition of shelters, safe homes, non-residential programs and individuals working to end domestic violence in Louisiana. We represent rural, urban and suburban areas. Our programs support people of all racial, social, ethnic, religious and economic groups. We oppose violence as a means of control over others and support equality in relationships.
Our purpose is to eliminate domestic violence in Louisiana by:
- Providing training and technical assistance to member domestic violence programs and allied professionals working with victims of domestic violence.
- Supporting and advocating on behalf of member domestic violence programs.
- Participating in state planning and resource allocation in partnership with state policy makers.
- Providing legislative advocacy on the state and national levels.
- Working to create social change and to improve systems responses.
