Deaf DAWN

DAWN is a trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and transformative justice-based agency that provides multi-facted services to the survivors and the community. We provide direct services and education addressing power-based violence.

DAWN’s mission is to promote healthy relationships and reduce abuse in the Deaf community in the Washington, DC area. We emphasize that all forms of violence are intersectional. Working with survivors who have many identities we recognize that individuals and society decrease the right to one’s own safety and autonomy.
