The mission of the Center on Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC) at the Rutgers University School of Social Work is to strive to eliminate physical, sexual, and other forms of violence against women and children and the power imbalances that permit them. This mission is accomplished through the use of a collaborative approach that focuses on interdisciplinary research, education, and community engagement that impact communities and policies in New Jersey, the United States, and throughout the world. This article describes VAWC's history, organizational structure, physical resources, and funding sources, along with a description of past, current, and ongoing projects. It concludes with an overview of future plans for the Center.
