DWAVE

Our Story

In the spring of 2000, a group of Deaf Women from Columbus recognized the urgent need for safety and support for women and children affected by violence. After attending vital training on domestic violence and sexual assault at the Abused Deaf Women Advocacy Services in Seattle, they returned to Columbus and formed a committee that laid the groundwork for what is now Deaf World Against Violence Everywhere (DWAVE). Officially established as a nonprofit in February 2002, DWAVE has since expanded its services to advocate for the Deaf, Deaf Blind, Deaf Disabled, and Hard of Hearing communities.

Impact

For over 20 years, DWAVE has empowered marginalized communities through culturally affirmative advocacy and education.
