Vision

The vision of the disAbility Advocacy Project is that people with disabilities and Deaf individuals who experience domestic or sexual violence are aware of the range of services that are available to them and they have the same access to those services as others.  We believe that all people should have equal opportunity to participate in a society where Abilities, rather than disabilities, are recognized.

Mission

The mission of the disAbility Advocacy Project is to build partnerships between community-based domestic and sexual violence advocacy organizations, community-based disability advocacy organizations, and people with disabilities who experience domestic or sexual violence.  These partnerships will work to improve access to services, reach out to other survivors with disabilities, and honor and respect the choices made by survivors.
