The Erie County Coalition Against Family Violence (ECCAFV) has been dedicated to ending domestic violence since 1978, prioritizing the safety of victims and their children while amplifying their voices in all initiatives. Grounded in the principles of the Battered Women's Movement, ECCAFV believes that domestic violence is a violation of basic human rights and recognizes that addressing all forms of oppression is essential to eradicating this issue. With a strong commitment to community involvement, ECCAFV encourages individuals to participate in their efforts to combat domestic violence, offering various ways to engage through surveys, committees, and events. The coalition provides vital resources, including 24-hour hotlines, to ensure that individuals facing abuse know they are not alone and have access to the support they need.
