Nursing Network on Violence Against Women International NNVAWI Charity Profile

The Nursing Network on Violence Against Women (NNVAW) was formed to encourage the development of a nursing practice that focuses on health issues relating to the effects of violence on women's lives. NNVAW was founded in November of 1985 during the first National Nursing Conference on Violence Against Women held at the University of Massachusetts/ Amherst. We now have international members and have added International to our name (NNVAWI).

The abuse and exploitation of women is a social problem of epidemic proportions which adversely affects the health of millions of women each year. The Network's ethic fosters the ideal of nursing practice designed to provide assistance and support to women in the process of achieving their own personal empowerment. The ultimate goal of NNVAWI is to provide a nursing presence in the struggle to end violence in women's lives.
