EVAW Project History: |
|
The EVAW Project is a successful training and technical assistance STOP VAWA funded initiative in Colorado. Originally a collaboration between the Colorado District Attorneys Council, the County Sheriffs of Colorado, the Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault and the Colorado Coalition Against Domestic Violence, the project includes two employees and approximately 25 expert trainers from across the state. Together, we provide excellent training and technical assistance to Colorado communities. EVAW Project has conducted training in each of the 22 Judicial Districts in Colorado, and in many places across the county.
The project has also established and worked with coordinated community councils in Colorado, has established regional “train the trainer” teams in four different regions around the state, and has provided a multitude of technical assistance to hundreds of people and agencies.
The cornerstone of success of the EVAW Project has been collaboration. The joint effort by CDAC, CSOC, CCASA, and CCADV has infused the project with credibility, and modeled the importance of unity on the issues of violence against women to the communities the EVAW team has worked with. |
