Mission Statement

The mission of the Coalition is to support and strengthen the prevention of and response to domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, elder abuse, dating violence, and human trafficking against Native Americans in the state of Nebraska through education, trainings, support, public awareness, and technical assistance in order to promote safety for both rural and urban tribal communities.

    • Teen Dating Violence

    • Human Trafficking

    • Sexual Assault

    • Stalking
