The mission of the Massachusetts Women of Color Network (MAWOCN) is to support and maintain the leadership of women of color working in the Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Movement in Massachusetts. We provide training and technical assistance (T.A),provide peer-to-peer support, mentorship, and resources for women of color. We also provide training and T.A. to their employers and other stakeholders to better serve women of color and BIPOC survivors. To elevate the role of women and color in ending violence, we also shed light on institutional racism and challenge the systems that uphold and perpetuate oppression.
