Empowering Deaf Survivors of Domestic Violence

Abused Deaf Women's Advocacy Services (ADWAS) is dedicated to providing essential support and advocacy for Deaf survivors of domestic violence. Located in Washington State, ADWAS recognizes the unique challenges faced by Deaf individuals in abusive situations and strives to create a safe space where they can find help, healing, and empowerment.

A Meaningful Story of Resilience

Founded in 1995, ADWAS emerged from the need for specialized services for Deaf women experiencing domestic violence. The organization was established by a group of passionate advocates who understood the barriers that Deaf individuals face in accessing traditional support systems. With a commitment to inclusivity and empowerment, ADWAS has developed a range of services tailored to meet the needs of Deaf survivors.

ADWAS offers a variety of programs, including crisis intervention, legal advocacy, and support groups, all conducted in American Sign Language (ASL). This ensures that Deaf survivors can communicate freely and receive the support they need without the fear of misunderstanding or miscommunication. The organization also provides educational resources to raise awareness about domestic violence within the Deaf community, fostering a culture of support and understanding.

Impacting Lives, One Survivor at a Time

Over the years, ADWAS has made a significant impact on the lives of countless Deaf survivors. The organization has assisted hundreds of individuals in escaping abusive situations, providing them with the tools and resources necessary to rebuild their lives. Through advocacy and support, ADWAS empowers survivors to reclaim their voices and assert their rights.

In addition to direct services, ADWAS engages in community outreach and education, working to change societal perceptions of domestic violence and promote healthy relationships. By collaborating with local law enforcement, healthcare providers, and other organizations, ADWAS is creating a network of support that extends beyond its immediate services.
